.40 S&W cartridge, bullet diameter = .401"
.380 ACP cartridge, bullet diameter = .355-.356"
.32 ACP cartridge, bullet diameter = .311 - .312"
.380 or 32
There are several DIFFERENT .32 caliber cartridges. The .32 bullet is smaller in diameter than a .380. SOME .32 cartridges are longer, and have more power, such as the .327 magnum. And some .32 pistols are smaller than some .380 pistols, and vice versa. The caliber has nothing to do with the size of the gun.
Can I shoot 380acp caliber out of my 32 pistol?
about .03 inches
.380 is slightly larger in diamater than the .32, and in general, more powerful.
Absolutely not!
No. Shoot only the caliber printed on the barrel.
What caliber? 22, 25, 32, 380, 9mm?
It was chambered in both 32 ACP and 380 ACP.
definitely not. .32 ammunition is .32 caliber though the actual diameter of the bullet is usually between .315 and .319 inches. .380 ammunition is .355 inches in diameter (9mm) and would not fit down the barrel of a .32 caliber gun.
Depends on which cartridges- there are dozens of different .32s. If you mean a .32 S&W, the .380 has more energy- but the term "knockdown power" is pretty misleading. You should not expect any handgun to "knock" a person down. Works in the movies, not in real life.
A handgun. Some European pistols were .32 caliber, and would have been the smallest used, but many .22 caliber rifles were used in training.
