Ive heard of people using small rifle primers for for pistol rounds. Has anyone heard of this? and dose anyone here do that? It would be nice to just have to buy one kind of small primers.

I have used small rifle primers and alot of people do so. In USPSA, the guys that shoot .38 super tend to do so because the primer tends to be a bit hotter and they are a bit harder.

Before just switching, work your load up from the beginning again so that everything is safe.

I've used them for .40 and 9mm, like ichy_trigger says you want to work you loads up.
