9mm Largo is 9x23, but be careful not to confuse it with the 9x23 Winchester. They have the similar dimensions, but the 9mm Winchester cartridge is loaded to a higher pressure and is not safe to fire in a pistol designed for the 9mm Largo.

Is a 380 calibur bullet the same as a 9mm bullet?
The .380 ACP is a type of 9mm... 9x17, and is sometime referred to as the 9mm Short or 9mm Kurz. It is NOT the same as the 9mm Luger/Parabellum (9x19), and it is NOT compatible with any other type of 9mm cartridge (such as the 9x19 Luger/Parabellum, 9x18 Makarov, 9x21, 9x23, 9x25, etc.).

What is the difference in 9mm pistol ammunition cartridge lengths?
The .380 ACP is 9x17, the 9mm Makarov is 9x18 (it should be noted the projectile for this round is actually 9.3 millimetres in diametre, as well), the 9mm Parabellum/Luger is 9x19. 9x21 is a commercial round intended for countries in which military calibres are prohibited for civilians to possess, and there are a few different 9x23 cartridges - 9x23 Winchester, which is fairly popular as an alternative to .38 Super for competitive shooting, 9x23 Steyr was a military cartridge which fell out of favour, and no current production firearms are manufactured for this cartridge. 9x25 Dillon is a 10mm casing necked down to a 9mm projectile, the 9x25 Mauser was a military cartridge which saw only limited service, and, like the 9x23 Steyr, no modern firearms are currently manufactured for this cartridge. Some also like to refer to the .357 Sig - which is a .40 S&W casing necked down to accept a 9mm projectile - as the 9x22, but this is in no way official, and it's typically referred to as .357 Sig, even in metric system countries. It should be noted that in the US, most of the time when someone refers to a 9mm, they're talking about the 9mm Luger (9x19mm Parabellum)
Can you fire a 9mm cartrige out of a 380 auto handgun?
There are several types of 9mm cartridges. .380 ACP is the commercial designation in English/Imperial system countries for the 9x17 cartridge (also known as the 9mm Short, and 9mm Kurz). This is the only cartridge which is to be fired from a weapon chambered for it, and other 9mm rounds are notinterchangeable. This includes the 9x18 Makarov, 9x19 Parabellum, 9x23 Largo, etc..380 pistols typically use an unlocked breech, which can be done given the generally low chamber pressure produced by the .380/9x17 cartridge. Now, a 9mm Parabellum cartridge would probably not even chamber in a .380, but, if it did and was fired, the considerably higher chamber pressure produced by that round could destroy the gun and cause serious injury to the operator.
