There are several .32 calibre and 8mm pistol cartridges for pistols. Some of the 8mm cartridges are sold as .32 calibre cartridges in markets where the English system is in use. Cartridges include:

  • 8mm Nambu
  • 8mm Roth-Steyr
  • .32 S&W Long
  • .320 Revolver
  • .327 Federal Magnum
  • 7.5mm Swiss Army Revolver
  • 8x27R French Revolver
  • 7.5mm Swedish Nagant

These cartridges are NOT interchangeable with each other, at all, and it should not be attempted. If you remain uncertain about which cartridge is to be used with your revolver, I would strongly recommend you take it to a competent gunsmith, and have them determine this for you.

Can any pistol cartridges be fired from any handgun?

No. You can only safely fire the correct caliber from each handgun. For instance, for a .40 caliber handgun, you can only fire .40 ammunition. There are some minor exceptions, mostly in revolvers. For instance, you can fire .38 special or .357 magnum from a revolver that will fire .357 magnum, but not the other way around.

What is a 45mm pistol?

No such thing. It is a typo. A 45 mm pistol would fire a bullet larger than a golf ball. I think you are looking for a .45 CALIBER pistol. That is a handgun that fires a bullet about 45/100ths of an inch in diameter. Perhaps the two best known are the 45 Colt Peacemaker type revolver of cowboy fame, and the 1911A1 .45 Automatic Pistol, used by the US Army.
