Can you shoot a 9mm with any 9mm gun?
No. There are several different calibers that are called 9mm. These calibers are not interchangeable. A quick rundown of 9mm pistol cartridges: 9x17 also called 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short or .380 Auto 9x18 Makarov, also called 9mm Makarov 9x19 also called 9mm Luger, 9mm, 9mm Para, 9mm Parabellum 9x21 also called 9mm IMI 9x23 also called 9mm Long, 9mm Largo
Is the 9mm largo and the 9mm luger the same round?
No. The Largo round is longer.
What guns shoot 9mm ammo?
Those that are marked for 9mm ammunition. Shotguns, rifles, handguns all have been or are chambered for 9mm
Is 9x19 the same thing as 9x18?
No- two different cartridges. They are for different guns and do not interchange. The 9x19 is also the 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger- the 9x18 is the 9mm Makarov.
Are there different 9mm bullets?
Yes, there are. There are different 9mm Cartridges, and different 9mm bullets (bullets being the part of the cartridge that comes out of the barrel. Some of the different cartridges are 9mm Parabellum (the everyday 9mm) 9mm Browning Long, 9mm Magnum, 9mm Largo, 9mm Kurz (the .380) 9mm Makarov and a dozen others. 9mm BULLETS may be different weights, slightly different sizes, and may be round nosed, hollow point, truncated cone, tracer, etc etc.
Can you shoot all types of 9mm ammo out of the same gun?
No. Not all 9mm cartridges are the same. 9x19 (a.k.a., 9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum), for example, is different, hence, not compatible with other 9mm cartridges, such as the 9x17 (a.k.a., .380 ACP), 9x18 Makarov, 9x21, 9x23 Mauser, etc.
Is 9mm Largo and 9x23 the same cartridge?
9mm Largo is 9x23, but be careful not to confuse it with the 9x23 Winchester. They have the similar dimensions, but the 9mm Winchester cartridge is loaded to a higher pressure and is not safe to fire in a pistol designed for the 9mm Largo.
Can you shoot any 9mm round out of a 9mm?
No. There several different case lengths that accept a 9mm bullet. 9mm Kurz is not the same as 9mm Luger, which in turn is not the sameas 38 super, 9x21, 9x20, etc. The diameter is the same, but the cartridges are different sizes.
Can you shoot a 9mm in a 380 gun?
.380 ACP is 9x17mm. That's the only cartridge that gun can fire. 9x19mm (a.k.a., 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger) and 9x18mm (a.k.a., 9mm Makarov) are NOT compatible with these guns.
Can you fire a 380 round from a sig 9mm?
The 380 and 9mm are two different cartridges, and you should never try to fire anything out of any gun other than what it is designed to shoot.
Can you shoot 9mm bullet in a 380 gun?
.380 ACP is 9x17mm. That's the only cartridge that gun can fire. 9x19mm (a.k.a., 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger) and 9x18mm (a.k.a., 9mm Makarov) are NOT compatible with these guns.
Is it safe to shoot 9x19 in 380 guns?
No. The 9x19 (which is 9mm Luger/ 9mm Parabellum) is too long and FAR too powerful. Very unsafe. .380 is also known as the 9x17.
