What is the primer sensitivity of small pistol primers and regular 9mm primers?
Rowenapineda1
9mm Parabellum cartridges (9mm Luger) HAVE small pistol primers. For some applications such as submachine guns with a free floating firing pin, a harder primer may be used. However, in most applications, the same primer used in .38 Special would also be used in a 9mm.

Reloading can you use large rifle primers in 44 mag pistol brass?
Rifle primers are usually made of harder metal, and may not fire from the lighter strike of a handgun firing pin. More importantly, the height of a rifle primer is usually greater than a pistol primer- you may end up with a "high" primer that can bind the action, OR cause a premature firing. In general, not a good idea. There has been a primer shortage due to panic buying, but the shelves are getting restocked. You should see pistol primers again pretty soon. you would need the large pistol primers.............
