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 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.

NEVER SHOOT AMMUNITION IN A WEAPON NOT CHAMBERED FOR IT!!!!! Do not attempt this.


Can 9mm bullet be use in 380?

The .380 ACP is also known as the 9x17mm, 9mm Short, and 9mm Kurz. It is the ONLY ammunition which can be fired through a .380 pistol. The 9x18mm Makarov (whose bullet diameter is actually 9.3mm) and the 9x19 Parabellum/Luger cartridges ARE NOT compatible.


Can you fire a 380 in a 9mm handgun?

Depends. .380 ACP is used to refer to the 9x17 cartridge. It is not interchangeable for use in 9x18 (9mm Makarov), 9x19 (9mm Parabellum/Luger), or any other firearm designed for any cartridge other than the .380 ACP/9x17 cartridge.


Is a 380 calibur bullet the same as a 9mm bullet?

The .380 ACP is a type of 9mm... 9x17, and is sometime referred to as the 9mm Short or 9mm Kurz. It is NOT the same as the 9mm Luger/Parabellum (9x19), and it is NOT compatible with any other type of 9mm cartridge (such as the 9x19 Luger/Parabellum, 9x18 Makarov, 9x21, 9x23, 9x25, etc.).


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


Can you shoot 380 ACP and 9x18 with the same gun?

NO. The .380 ACP is a 9 x 17 cartridge. The 9x18, also known as the 9mm Makarov, is not truly a 9mm cartridge- it is 9.27mm. The cartridge is too long, too fat, and too powerful to be shot in a .380 ACP pistol.


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.


How do you disassemble a baikal 380?

Hi, go to the You tube videos, then in the search box write down Makarov pistol mod-59 and you will get various examples of how to break down and assembly the .380 and the 9mm, good luck.


Can a 380 fire a 9mm?

380 and 9mm ammunition IS NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.


Did Llama make an especial pistol that would shoot both 380 and 9mm?

No. The .380 cartridge is sometimes called 9mm Corto or 9mm Kurz, but in addition to a different cartridge shape, the basic design of the two pistols is generally different. MOST .380s are blowback, and 9mms are locked breech- due to the higher power of the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. Also, please understand that there are SEVERAL different 9mms- the 9mm Largo, 9mm Browning Long, 9mm Steyr, 9mm Makarov, 9mm Glisenti, 9mm Magnum etc, besides the 9mm Parabellum.
