No- and potentially dangerous if it DID fire. The 9mm is shorter (19.15mm vs 22.86mm) The .38 Auto is a semi rimmed case, 9mm Parabellum is rimless. .38 Auto has a maximum pressure of 26,500 psi, the 9mm 35,000 psi.
The Luger pistol (check your spelling) was originally made in 7.65 Luger- a bottlenecked cartridge. This later changed to 9MM Parabellum- commonly called 9mm Luger or 9x19. There was a subcaliber insert that could be used for training that fired a very small 4mm cartridge. Lugers have also been made in .22LR, .32 Auto, .380 auto and rarely, 45 auto.
.45 ACP means auto cartridge pistol ( I believe they spelled it pistole though). The .45 auto just means it is an autoloading pistol unlike the revolver style pistol.
No. A semi-auto is technically a self loading pistol, such as a Luger, Glock, Browning Hi Power, etc. When fired it automatically ejects the fired cartridge, and loads a fresh cartridge. Revolvers have a round cylinder that holds cartridges, and is advanced and cocked by hand.
the ACP in any gun cartridge means Colt Auto Pistol
ACP means Automatic Colt Pistol. .45 ACP and .45 Auto are the same cartridge. .45 Colt and .45 Auto Rim are a revolver cartridge. .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) is a shorter round than the ACP, and does not interchange with it.
Pretty common. That is the .25 Auto cartridge.
While there ARE specialized target auto pistol that are in caliber .38 Special, they are quite rare. The .38 Auto, and the .38 Super are both different cartridges from the .38 Special, and do not interchange. For everyday purposes, the .38 Special is a revolver cartridge, and the .38 Auto a semi auto pistol cartridge.
Properly, a semi-auto or self loading pistol. It is a handgun, that when fired, extracts and ejects the fired cartridge, loads a fresh cartridge and recocks itself for firing, no action taken by the shooter.
The semi-automatic pistol cartridge, the 10mm Auto, developed by Jeff Cooper was first designed in 1983. This cartridge was used for various purposes which include hunting, defending and tactical usage.
7.65mm is the European desination for the .32 Auto, or .32ACP cartridge. It is a common cartridge, and most sporting goods stores shoud have it in stock.
Yes, there have been a couple. At least one company (Coonan) has built a semi auto pistol that fires the .357 Magnum cartridge. A much more common find would be handguns built in the .357 Sig caliber. This is a bottlenecked .357 cartridge intended to duplicate the performance of the .357 magnum, but in an auto pistol cartridge.
Yes- but not very common. There is an automatic pistol caliber known as the .38 Super, which does not interchange with the .38 Special revolver cartridge. There have been a small number of target pistols built to shoot .38 Special Wadcutter target ammo. And there is at least one auto pistol made in caliber .357 Magnum (revolver cartridge). However, revolver ammo is rimmed, and auto pistol ammo is rimless- there are usually feeding problems when an auto pistol is made for revolver ammo.
