Is it bad to dry fire an air pistol?
It's OKAY to dry fire a C02 pistol but do not dry fire a spring or pump pistol or rifle. When the piston in a spring pistol compresses the air inside the chamber to fire the pellet is actually slows down as it decompresses the spring piston just before it fires the pellet out of the chamber. This slowing down Keeps the piston from slamming against the end of the chamber and ruining it. When there is no pellet in the chamber the piston has no resistance and slams against the end of the chamber. This will eventually destroy the piston and the air chamber.

Has anyone used 9mm in a hi-Point 380?
Don't attempt this. Using ammo other than what the firearm is designed for is extremely dangerous, and may result in injury or even death to the firer. Especially in this case, where you're talking about using an entirely separate class of ammo than what the pistol was designed for. The 9x17/.380 ACP is a lower powered round, designed to be used in an unlocked breech pistol. The 9x19/9mm Luger/9mm Parabellum generates significantly more pressure - too much to be used in an unlocked breech pistol. Even if you can get it to chamber, you run a serious risk of catastrophic failure.

Difference between revolver and pistol?
Very generally speaking, a revolver has a revolving cylinder that rotates in order to bring a new round in line with the barrel. A pistol has a single chamber, and fresh rounds are fed into the chamber from a magazine. That is the more recent and slang use of those words. Revolvers and magazine fed semi-automatics are both pistols.
