Can I shoot 380acp caliber out of my 32 pistol?
There are several DIFFERENT .32 caliber cartridges. The .32 bullet is smaller in diameter than a .380. SOME .32 cartridges are longer, and have more power, such as the .327 magnum. And some .32 pistols are smaller than some .380 pistols, and vice versa. The caliber has nothing to do with the size of the gun.
about .03 inches
.380 is slightly larger in diamater than the .32, and in general, more powerful.
Absolutely not!
No. Shoot only the caliber printed on the barrel.
What caliber? 22, 25, 32, 380, 9mm?
It was chambered in both 32 ACP and 380 ACP.
No, you cannot fire a .32 caliber round in a .380 handgun, as they are different cartridges with distinct dimensions and specifications. A .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge has a larger case diameter and overall length compared to a .32 caliber round, which can lead to improper chambering and potentially dangerous situations. Always use the correct ammunition specified for your firearm to ensure safety and proper functioning.
definitely not. .32 ammunition is .32 caliber though the actual diameter of the bullet is usually between .315 and .319 inches. .380 ammunition is .355 inches in diameter (9mm) and would not fit down the barrel of a .32 caliber gun.
Depends on which cartridges- there are dozens of different .32s. If you mean a .32 S&W, the .380 has more energy- but the term "knockdown power" is pretty misleading. You should not expect any handgun to "knock" a person down. Works in the movies, not in real life.
