That will depend on WHICH .38 caliber cartridge (thre are several) the length of the barrel (longer barrels= faster bullets) and the catridge itself. A very light target cartridge will be slower than a hot defensive cartridge. For a .38 Special revolver with a 4 inch barrel, velocity averages about 770 fps, but may range from 670-980 FPS.
