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.

Can you shoot a 9mm in a 380?

A pistol chambered for .380 ACP (also known as 9x17) can fire that cartridge and only that cartridge. You cannot shoot 9mm Parabellum (9x19) or any other 9mm cartridge in it.


Can a 380 hi point handgun shoot a 9mm bullet?

It depends on what you mean exactly. 380 is a bullet that is 9mm in diameter, but it is not the same as what most people mean when they say 9mm. Usually, at least in the U.S. the term 9mm refers to 9mm para which is 9x19. A 380 cartridge is 9x17, so it is shorter. It may be possible to fire a 9x19 cartridge out of a 380 gun, but it is a bad idea because it is too long, and because it is a much higher pressure cartridge.


Can you use 9mm in a 380?

It depends on what you mean. 380 is the same as 9x17, but if you mean standard 9mm, that is 9x19. It's too long and too high pressure to use in a .380.

Will a 9mm gun shoot a 380 bullet?

9mm and .380 bullets are the same diameter. In fact, .380 is also called 9mm Kurz(short) or 9x17. However, the caliber commonly called 9mm is 9x19, which means the cases are different size. A .380 cartridge will fall down into the chamber and the firing pin will not reach the primer. So, a .380 bullet can be fired from a 9mm gun if it were loaded into a 9mm case. A .380 cartridge would fail to fire in a 9mm gun.


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.

Are 380 and 9 mm ammo interchangeable?

While the .380 is sometimes called the 9mm Kurz, it is not the same as the 9mm parabellum (also called 9mm Luger and 9x19). It is shorter than the 9mm.


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 out of a 380?

The .380 ACP is a 9mm cartridge - 9x17mm. That is the ONLY cartridge which can be fired from a .380 pistol, and the 9x18mm Makarov, 9x19mm Parabellum/Luger, 9x21, 9x23, 9x25, etc. cartridges are NOT compatible. The Makarov cartridge actually uses a 9.3mm projectile, which is too large for the .380, and the 9x19 cartridge uses too long a case, meaning you won't get proper headspacing in the chamber, and it's designed for a locked breech pistol, generating too much pressure to be safely used in an unlocked breech pistol such as a .380. Do not attempt to use any ammunition other than what your firearm is intended to shoot.
