Rifle primers are usually made of harder metal, and may not fire from the lighter strike of a handgun firing pin. More importantly, the height of a rifle primer is usually greater than a pistol primer- you may end up with a "high" primer that can bind the action, OR cause a premature firing. In general, not a good idea. There has been a primer shortage due to panic buying, but the shelves are getting restocked.
