Can you shoot .38 caliber ammo in a 380 caliber handgun?

No. Ammo designated as .38 or .38 special is different than ammo designated as .380. .380 is designed for semi-auto handguns and .38 ammo is for revolvers.More to the point, the .38 Special has a longer case, and a larger diameter projectile. The .38 special bullet measures .357" diameter, the .380 measures .355" diameter. The .38 special is a 'rimmed' cartridge, and the .380 is 'rimless'. Luckily, .38 Special ammo will not fit in a .380 magazine, otherwise the results could be disastrous, possibly turning your .380 handgun into a hand grenade.

What is the difference between a 38 and a 380 handgun?

.002 inches in bullet diameter. While the bullet is a bit smaller as noted in the answer above the handguns that use these cartridges are very different. A .38 is usually a .38 special, which because of it's rimmed case is predominatley used in revolvers. A .380 is a rimless cartridge used in easily concealed blowback automatic handguns. The .38 special revolver has about 20% more stopping power than the .380 automatic. Both are considered adequate but not powerful personal defense arms.


Can you shoot a 9mm bullet from a 380 handgun?

9mm and 380 both use bullets with a diameter of .355. But the answer to the question you're probably asking is, no, you cannot fire a 9mm parabellum cartridge from a .380 handgun. The 9mm cartridge is different than the .380 cartridge. Even though both are 9mm in diameter, the overall cartridge lengths are different.

What is bigger 38 special or 380 acp?

Oddly enough, both are about .35 Caliber, which is why one can fire a .38 Special round out of a .357 Magnum.the .38 Special has an actual diameter of .357 and the .380 has a diameter of .355. So the .38 special is larger and they are typically heavier than the .380 (110gr vs 90gr).
