Depends which type of .38 you're referring to. When most people say ".38", they're referring to the .38 Special. Firearms chambered in .38 Special can fire .38 Special cartridges, and nothing else. The .38 Special can also be fired from a .357 Magnum revolver (but only from revolvers - not from anything with a headspaced chamber). The .38 Special is not compatible with the .38 S&W Long, .38 Super, or any other type of .38 caliber cartridge.
