You have a Smith and Wesson model 14 38 special. The 38 refers to the diameter of the barrel. That barrel is 38/100 of an inch in diameter. A 45 automatic has a barrel that is 45/100 of an inch in diameter. A 9mm has a barrel with a 9mm diameter. You can shoot 9mm ammunition from a 38 special. A 22 pistol has a small diameter barrel.
No
No, you cannot.
no, although the diameter of the bullet is about the same .356 for 9mm and 357/358 for the 38 cal. that metal cases will not interchange with other guns. i.e., the 9mm case does not feed in a 38 nor will a 38 feed in a 9mm..................
.38 Special- 9mm is more powerful. ,357 Magnum- 9mm is less powerful.
it does shoot the 38 spl cartridge.............
No.
Beretta is a make of gun. They make rifles, shotgun, handguns and machine guns. Without knowing WHICH Beretta, your question cannot be answered. If you mean the military M9 pistol, no. THAT is a caliber 9mm Parabellum, which is a totally different cartridge from a .38 Special.
A .38 Special can shoot the cartridge marked "38 Short Colt". It CANNOT shoot what many people CALL a .38 Short- which is the .38 S&W. The .38 S&W in not only shorter than the Special, it is fatter. The 2 do not interchange.
There are SEVERAL 9mm cartridges- the most common is probably the 9mm Parabellum (9mm Luger). A 9mm Parabellum BULLET (not cartridge) is typically slightly smaller than a .38 Special bullet- .356 instead of .357. The 9mm is frequently (not always) lighter- and shorter. Other 9mm cartridges (such as the 9mm Makarov) will have different bullets.
Not muchThe diameter of a .38 special bullet is 0.358 inch, which is 9.09 mm. ALOT. the diameter isn't the only thing to consider. although the calibers are close the 9mm and 38 special are no where near each other. a 9mm is usually 9 x 19mm and is 115-124 grains and a 38 special is approx. 9.07 x 39mm near 160 grains and obviously packs more of a punch. fire a 9mm and then a 38 special and it will make sense.
Before this can be answered, you actually have to ask a question.
