Use the ammoseek website.

No. 38 special ammo is rimmed. The others you mentioned are rimless.

MidwayUSA has 38 special ammo. At least, earlier this morning they did. If they're out, hit the "notify" button. They'll email you as soon as it gets in.

Um, no.

I suggest learning about your pistol and reading the owners manual.

Consider formal pistol instruction.

Be safe.

No. It wouldn’t be possible anyway, and you shouldn’t try.

None available at Midway USA. You can get on a list to be notified when they have some in stock and if you order it immediately you might get some.

NO! Match the cartridge markings on your ammo box (and casing marks) to your markings on your barrel. You can can use 38 special in a .357 magnum, but not vice versa.

Nope, it will shoot .357 magnum if it can handle the pressure, otherwise it goes Kablooey

Use exactly the ammo the gun was made for and nothing else.
There are very few exceptions.

Not to be rude, but you wouldn’t buy a car, and think it is okay to hop in and zoom away if you’ve never driven one.

Same is true for guns.

You can find plenty of 38 special or any other ammunition on gunbroker.com. It's like eBay for guns.

You can bid on ammo, but I'm supplying the "Buy Now" link:

Nope. 38 Special, maybe 38 Special +P if the instruction manual says so.

Don’t worry, though, 38 Special is perhaps the most abundant round to be found.

Check with the manufacture on P+ type of ammo — your weapon may not be designed for that... If it’s a .38 Special - then buy .38 Special ammo ... you want to fire .380 auto — then buy a .380 auto pistol... Don’t be mixing rounds like that — it’s dangerous!
