Yes- but not very common. There is an automatic pistol caliber known as the .38 Super, which does not interchange with the .38 Special revolver cartridge. There have been a small number of target pistols built to shoot .38 Special Wadcutter target ammo. And there is at least one auto pistol made in caliber .357 Magnum (revolver cartridge). However, revolver ammo is rimmed, and auto pistol ammo is rimless- there are usually feeding problems when an auto pistol is made for revolver ammo.
I got mine in 1950 and it was used.

You probably have a Mk. I pistol, manufactured circa 1958. If this is the case, it would be a semi-auto pistol, chambered in .22 Long Rifle.
