Yes. .380 ACP is ONE of the full names for the cartridge- stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. You may also see it as 9mm Kurz, or 9mm Corto (means 9mm Short),
Who cares? It's such a pathetic caliber anyways.
380 aka 9mm Kurz ammuntion only. BTW, the 380 and 9mm use the same size projectile. Difference is the case length.
They are the same round. In the "metric world" outside the US it's called 9mm Kurz (German for "short") and in the US it's called the .380 ACP. Other names, depending on the country and manufacturer, include .380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Short and 9x17mm, and there are even some others. The confusion is caused by the fact that US ammo named .38 or .380 is the diameter of the brass cartridge while the bullet is actually .35" (9mm) diameter.
Good answer below. The "9mm Luger" is properly the 9mm Parabellum, but it is also called the Luger. There are about a dozen different cartridges with 9mm in their name, but the 9mm Luger is the best known.
