If you mean the 9 mm Parabellum AKA 9x19 mm or 9 mm "Luger", the .38 Special is physically larger.

The case length of the .38 is 0.401 inches longer.

The over all loaded cartidge length of the .38 is 0.381 inches longer.

Case diameter is nearly identical between the two, but the .38 has a larger rim/case head by 0.046 inches.

The 9 mm fires a 0.355 inch diameter bullet whereas the .38 fires a 0.357 inch diameter bullet.
