No. .380 ACP is 9x17. The 9x18 is the Makarov- not only a longer cartridge case, but the bullet is larger (the term 9mm is used loosely) Unlike revolver cartridges that headspace off the rim, these headspace off the mouth of the cartridge case. Do not try it.

Can you shoot 380 ACP and 9x18 with the same gun?
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.

If you mean 9mm Parabellum (also called 9mm Luger)- no. the 9x18 (Makarov) is fatter and shorter than 9mm Parabellum. It is not a true 9 mm.

Did Browning make a double action semi-automatic pistol chambered for 9x18?
9x18 is the Makarov cartridge. Browning never made a firearm chambered for it. They did, however, make such a pistol in 9x17 - otherwise known as the .380 Automatic Colt Pistol. It was actually the Beretta 84 'Cheetah', badge engineered and marketed as the Browning BDA 380.

Can you fire a 380 in a 9mm handgun?
Depends. .380 ACP is used to refer to the 9x17 cartridge. It is not interchangeable for use in 9x18 (9mm Makarov), 9x19 (9mm Parabellum/Luger), or any other firearm designed for any cartridge other than the .380 ACP/9x17 cartridge.
Can you shoot all types of 9mm ammo out of the same gun?
No. Not all 9mm cartridges are the same. 9x19 (a.k.a., 9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum), for example, is different, hence, not compatible with other 9mm cartridges, such as the 9x17 (a.k.a., .380 ACP), 9x18 Makarov, 9x21, 9x23 Mauser, etc.
Can you shoot a 32 in a 380 gun?
