Best Answer

If you mean a .40 caliber bullet in a .32 caliber gun- no. The bullet would be 8 thousandths of inch too large to fit in the gun. Caliber refers to the diameter of the bullet, so a .40 caliber bullet is ABOUT .40 inches across, and a .32 bullet ABOUT .32 inches across.

Is the bullet diameter for an 1892 Winchester 32 WCF different from the 32-20 and 32-40?

Yes. The .32/20 uses a slightly smaller diameter bullet than the .32/40. Also, since the .32/40 used heavier bullets they are proportionately longer. Bullets designed for the .32/40 are not compatible with the .32/20. Consult any current reloading manual for starting loads and bullet choices.

Can you explain different handgun sizes?

Assuming you mean caliber, the caliber simply refers to the diameter of the bullet the gun is designed to fire. American cartridge sizes are expressed as tenths or hundredths of an inch, and European cartridges sizes are expressed as millimeter. A .40 caliber gun fires a bullet that is .40 of an inch in diameter. A 9 millimeter gun fires a bullet that is 9 millimeters in diamter. There are too many variations to list here, but some common handgun calibers are 9 millimeter, 10 millimeter, .40 SW, .38 special, .44 magnum, .45 ACP, .380 ACP.
