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.
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.
