Okay, maybe it's a dumb question, but I'm curious.
My set up at home has a 9mm, a .380, a couple of .38 revolvers, a .22 target pistol, and some long guns.
I have been stocking up on 9mm, .380 and .22 ammo. Whenever I have a few extra bucks I buy a few boxes.
If there was a meltdown and new ammo became unavailable could you fire 9mm and .380 ammo through a .38 revolver? My first thought would be that the bullet is about the same size or slightly smaller and it has a lighter powder load than a .38+p cartridge, that the .38 revolver should be able to handle it. But I'm not nearly as wise or experienced as some of the longtime board members and wanted to ask.
