Strictly speaking, yes. All you need is to supply a 380V / 50Hz three phase power supply (three phases at 120 degrees, possible also a neutral point, depending on the machinery).

In simply and everyday terms, since most US standard power outlets supply a single phase at 120V and 60Hz, you cannot use European 380V 50Hz machinery without extra circuitry.

Wait, there's more:

a) First, note that present-day European systems supply 230V (single phase) or 230*sqrt(3)=400V (three phase). The 380 V system has been upgraded when the main (single-phase) voltage was upgraded from 220 to 230V some years ago.

b) Some US premises sport 240V / 60Hz power supplies for heavy duty use. I believe this is a single-phase supply, used with machinery, air-conditioning units, etc. If this was the case, then you might be able to connect a European piece of machinery with small extra cost, subject to unit's power rating and phase shift tolerance. To do so, you would implement what is known as a Steinmetz-Connection. if you can read simple formula and schematics, you should be able to figure it out from the German language Wikipedia article; see related links.

The difference between 240V and 230V is less than 5%. Any piece of electrical equipment will tolerate 5% higher than nominal supply.

Are the m9 and the 380 the same physical size?

You're comparing a pistol to a cartridge. If you're referring to the M9 vs. a .380 ACP pistol, no, the .380 is typically used in smaller pistols. If you're referring to the 9x19 mm cartridge used by the M9 vs. the 9x17 mm cartridge which is also known as the .380 ACP, again, no, they're not the same size.
