Can you shoot a 38 special bullet from a 38 revolver?
Yes, you can shoot a .38 Special bullet from a .38 revolver, as the revolver is specifically designed to handle that caliber. The .38 Special is a common cartridge used in revolvers, and most .38 revolvers are chambered for this round. However, ensure that the revolver is in good condition and rated for the specific loads being used to ensure safety.
Is a 9mm the same as 38spec?
Yes and no, depending on what you are asking. A 9mm projectile is about 0.355" diameter whereas a .38 Special is 0.357" diameter - pretty much the same. A 9mm case is rimless and is shorter than a .38 Spec and almost all of the guns chambered for the 9mm are automatics. The .38 is a rimmed case and almost all of the handguns chambered for it are revolvers. Ballistically, the two rounds are very similar with the 9mm having a slight edge, given similar projectiles. Since it is a revolver bullet, the .38 offers flexibility for the projectiles (including wadcutters and birdshot) which the 9mm won't support.
