What is the difference in calibers of hand guns?

Caliber refers to the size of the cartridge a gun fires. Indirectly, it speaks to the particular cartridge that the Gun is meant to use. There are several guns that are made in more than one caliber- A Model xyz pistol might be made in 9mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. Incidentally, caliber, when speaking of a rifle or handgun, refers to how wide the inside of the barrel is, in 100ths of an inch. So a .357 caliber uses a bullet that is 357/100ths of an inch wide. Guns developed in Europe generally used the metric system instead- a 9mm uses a bullet 9mm wide.


Can you use 9X18 ammo in any 9mm handgun?

NO- outside of case dimensions, the 9x18 uses a .366 bullet designed for the Makarov. The standard international cartridge, 9mm Luger (9x19) uses a .355 bullet. The Luger will not fit in the Makarov, and if you try to fire the Makarov in a standard 9mm gun, you may just damage the gun or blow out the barrel


Can a 9mm bullet work in a .380 gun?

9mm and 380 both use bullets with a diameter of .355. However, the cases are a different size. .380 is also known as .380 auto, 9mm Kurtz, 9mm Corto, 9mm short or 9x17. 9mm typically refers to 9x19mm also known as 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger. You cannot fire a 9mm Parabellum cartridge from a .380 handgun. The 9mm cartridge will not fit into the chamber of the gun. However, if you were to pull the bullet out of the .380 case and put it into a 9mm Para case the resulting cartridge will work just fine.


Is a 9mm a good defence gun?

this is very controversial subject my father believes a 9mm is a great defense weapon. the problem i have with this caliber is that it velocity is to fast, this means the bullet has the opportunity to travel straight through the target and hit what ever is behind the target. a 45 is slower and heavier bullet. this means that when the bullet hits the target, it delivering all of its kinetic energy when it hits the target. Allowing the shooter to use one bullet rather than 2 or 3 bullets from the 9mm The 9 mm is good for killing from a long distance, but yea if your getting attacked an you shoot the attacker it will take him down.

What is difference between a 9mm caliber bullet and a 380 bullet?

None, the projectile diameter is the same for both - .355. If you are asking about a complete round of ammunition, the 9mm case is 19mm long and the 380 case is 17 mm long. This cartridge is called the ".380 Auto" for use with an automatic pistol. However, the most common 9mm round is the "9mm Lugar". This cartridge has a heavier bullet and a longer case, thus a larger muzzle velocity and energy than the .380 Auto.
