.38 caliber firearms have been around for a long time- several muzzleloader, and cap & ball revolvers used that caliber (Colt Navy models). The .38 rimfire was created about 1861, and was followed by the .38 Webley, various .38 Colts, S&Ws, etc. The most common .38 cartridge today is the .38 Special (which is actually .357, not .38) It was created by Smith & Wesson in 1899, and is still in production.
