Is there a gun that can use 380 bullets and 9 bullets?
No firearm exists that can shoot both 380 and 9mm. Unlike, say, the 357 magnum which can shoot 38 specials. Revolver rounds use the case rim to assure proper head space so they are more interchangeable. The 9mm and 380 are made for auto-loaders and they use the case length, rather than a rim, to determine proper head space. Because of that you can't shoot a 380 through a 9mm.
What caliber is best suited for a compact concealed carry firearm 9mm or 40?
This is mainly personal preference. The 9mm rounds will result in a lighter, cheaper round to shoot, but offers significantly less stopping power then a .40 caliber bullet. If it was going to be your primary concealed carry firearm, I'd go with the .40 because of the extra stopping power. Once again though, this is all personal preference.

Can you shoot a 380 acp from a 9mm?
No, you cannot. Firing ammunition other than what the firearm is chambered for is dangerous, and has the potential to result in injury or death. ---- A 9mm revolver that uses moon clips to hold the rounds is capable of firing .380 ammunition as well. Such a revolver headspaces the cartridges from the moon clip. Non-moon clip 9mm revolvers cannot fire .380 as they headspace from the case mouth. A .380 round will slip further into the chamber when struck by the hammer and likely result in a failure to fire.
