There is no one answer, because there is no one 38 caliber handgun.
First, assuming you are asking about a .38 Special revolver, and not a .38 S&W, or a .38 Super automatic- the weight will vary based on the size, and the material it is made from.
The current production Smith & Wesson 5 shot Airweight revolver with a 2 inch barrel weighs about 15 ounces empty. A 6 shot target revolver, with a 6 inch heavy barrel, made of stainless steel may weigh a couple of pounds.
No one gun, no one answer.

Can you fire 38 special cartridge in a 38-40 handgun?
I'm not real familiar with the 38-40, but based on what I looked up, I'm going to say no. The 38-40 cartridge uses a .40 caliber bullet, which means the chamber in a 38-40 handgun would be too large in diameter to properly/safely hold the .38 special.
