There are numerous handguns that will fire more than one caliber or type of ammo. The Taurus Judge will fire .410 shotgun ammo or .45 Colt ammo. Smith and Wesson has just started producing a gun similar revolver called the Governer that will fire .410, .45 Colt, or .45 ACP.

You can fire .38 special in any gun that is chambered in .357 magnum (but not vice-versa) or .44 special in a gun chambered for .44 magnum (but not vice-versa).

Also there are other types. There is a very rare revolver called the Medusa that will fire anything in the .38 or 9mm family, including 9mm Kurz (380), 9x19mm, 38 special, and .357 magnum.

What size magazine would a 9mm handgun take?

It depends on what you mean. Handgun magazines don't fit handguns based on size, they fit based on which model you have. Some models of pistol have various capacity magazines...for instance, for a Sig 229 in 9mm, you can get 10 round magazines and 15 round magazines.

What size ammo can I use on a .22 cal handgun tthat is not marked?

There is no way we can answer your question without more information. There are guns such as the Flobert actions that cannot safely fire any ammo but the .22CB cap (smaller than a short, no powder, primer only) and others that can fire .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle interchangeably. I have one .22 revolver simply marked .22 RF- it predates the .22 LR cartridge. We would urge you not to attempt to fire ANY ammunition until your handgun has been checked by a competent gunsmith to determine the correct ammo, and if it is safe to fire.
