Let's start by using the right term- I think you mean a .380 cartridge- many guns use .380 caliber BULLETS.

In general, NO. Unlike .22 shorts and long rifles, rimless cases do not interchange. It may be possible to get a .380 cartridge to fire in another gun- but not safely. Use ammo that is the caliber marked on the gun.

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.


Is a 9mm caliber more powerful than a 380 bullet?

Yes, a 9mm caliber round is generally more powerful than a .380 ACP bullet. The 9mm typically has a larger case capacity and can accommodate more gunpowder, resulting in higher velocity and energy upon firing. This increased power translates to greater stopping power and penetration compared to the .380 caliber.
