A pistol chambered for .380 ACP (also known as 9x17) can fire that cartridge and only that cartridge. You cannot shoot 9mm Parabellum (9x19) or any other 9mm cartridge in it.
NEVER SHOOT AMMUNITION IN A WEAPON NOT CHAMBERED FOR IT!!!!! Do not attempt this.
yes Actually, a better answer is, probably. As long as the pistol is designed to fire 9mm Para, you can fire 9mm Luger rounds. Smith and Wesson makes a couple of models that are 380 which is sometimes called 9mm Kurz, 9mm short, or 9x17 which is NOT the same.
The 9mm Parabellum is longer than the .380 ACP (also called the 9mm Short) They do not interchange.
You can only use .380 ACP ammo in a .380 pistol. Period.
probably If the pistol is designed for 9mm Luger, 9mm Para, or 9x19, yes.
A double action pistol that chambers a .380 ACP round. AKA 9mm Kurz
No firearm exists that can shoot both 380 and 9mm. Unlike, say, the 357 magnum which can shoot 38 specials. Revolver rounds use the case rim to assure proper head space so they are more interchangeable. The 9mm and 380 are made for auto-loaders and they use the case length, rather than a rim, to determine proper head space. Because of that you can't shoot a 380 through a 9mm.
Yes. 9mm Kurz (or Cortos) is the European designation for .380 ACP. also called .380 Auto.
shoot them with a 9mm pistol

NO. The .380 ACP is a 9 x 17 cartridge. The 9x18, also known as the 9mm Makarov, is not truly a 9mm cartridge- it is 9.27mm. The cartridge is too long, too fat, and too powerful to be shot in a .380 ACP pistol.
