Yes, there is a .38 Magnum, commonly referred to as the .357 Magnum. It is a powerful revolver cartridge developed in the 1930s and is often used in law enforcement and for personal defense. While the .38 Special is a distinct cartridge with lower pressure and energy, the .357 Magnum has a longer case and can generate higher velocities and energy levels. Both cartridges can be fired from revolvers designed for either caliber, but the .357 Magnum revolvers can also shoot .38 Special rounds.
