ALOT. the diameter isn't the only thing to consider. although the calibers are close the 9mm and 38 special are no where near each other. a 9mm is usually 9 x 19mm and is 115-124 grains and a 38 special is approx. 9.07 x 39mm near 160 grains and obviously packs more of a punch. fire a 9mm and then a 38 special and it will make sense.

What caliber is the caliber of a 9mm?
9 millimeter is the caliber. IMPROVING ANSWER: A "9mm" bullet is actually .355 or .356 of an inch in diameter. So the caliber is about .36, but nobody calls it that because it would be confusing. Everybody calls it a 9mm and if somebody asks you what "caliber" that pistol is, you can answer "It's a 9mm" without having to add or explain anything. further improve: 9mm is the correct answer. you can find the caliber by measuring the diameter of the bullet. translate to millimeters or inches and that's the caliber. 9mm is a 9mm caliber not "around .36"
