    A .38 spl will not chamber into a 9mm and have the breach close on the rim, I highly doubt that YOU fired it, you just picked it up when collecting your spent brass.

    It is NEVER safe to fire ammunition from a firearm that it is not designed to use. Even firing .38 spl from a .357 mag takes some precautions. Watch for leading and other fouling just ahead of the case mouth from the .38 spl, clean it before shooting .357 mag from it again.

    If you loaded a 38 spcl into a mag ment for 9mm, then you were clearly not paying attention; that case are not even close in design or length.

    Is there a chance you are referring to a 380, and not a 38 spcl?

    My daughter loaded a 9mm in my .45 mag at the range! It chambered and fired but the Brass wouldn't eject, I thought about making it into a bell after I forced it out. We lucked out with no damage to the gun or us! It could of damaged the extractor or barrel.
    Did you feel the lighter load? Did you stop firing at that point and check your weapon? what broke on Your firearm?
    It could have damaged it but without more information it's a Maybe.

    It is highly doubtful a .380 Auto would damage a 9mm in any way.

    I'm sure the problem with your KelTec is not related.

    For the same reason you loaded it into the mag, it is very similar to a 9mm. The main noticable difference is the case length; other than the caliber stamp.

    Otherwise, the different in the cases, in diameter is about .016 to .018 in.

    Caliber stamp may be 9mm BR(owning)

    Also know as 9mm Kurz and other names.
