There are a very few semi-auto pistols that shoot .357 magnum (not .357 Sig). While they will fire .38 Special, it is as a single shot- they will not cycle the action.

How many bullets can you shoot in a minute pistol?

Depends entirely on the pistol. I have a single shot muzzle loading pistol that 2 shots a minute would be good. A fully automatic machine pistol can fire more than 100 rounds per minute. You need to specify WHICH pistol, as there is no one answer.


Can you use 38special bullets with a 357 revolver?

Yes, but please use the correct term- cartridges. Not bullets. A .38 Special is basically a .357 Short, and you can safely shoot .38 Special in a .357 magnum. The opposite is NOT true.

Why Glock pistols do not accept cast bullets?

The barrels of Glock pistols use a different style of rifling, known as polygonal rifling. When shooting cast bullets, this rifling will get smeared with lead (known as "leading up"), and the pistol becomes unsafe to shoot.


Will 357 semi automatic pistol shoot 38 special bullets?

No - neither a semi-automatic .357 Magnum nor a semi-automatic .357 Sig will. .357 Magnum revolvers can fire .38 Special rounds because 1: they feed from a cylinder which can accommodate the shorter .38 Special round and 2: unlike a firearm with a chamber, the cylinders in a revolver do not need to be headspaced.
