Depends on what you want both will do fine for personal protection or target shooting. The 9 is a slightly smaller lighter round and ammo will cost you less. The 38 supper has more punch behind it and really is on par with a 357 sig or a 40 cal. Also the 38 will tend to be a bigger gun so if you looking to carry keep that in mind too.

What is the size difference in bullet in the 9mm and 38 special?

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.
