Since most 9mm P and .380 (9mm corto) seat on the case mouth I actually wonder if it would have fired at all.
If it did, I wouldn't want to be nearby. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

It might work, sometimes.
Poor velocity and really crappy accuracy. If.... if it fired. |

Pistols marked 9mm Kurz take .380 ammo. Probably over 1/2 cops don't know that.

You can shoot 9mm through a 40. I have done it on accident before.

It would work as the case would be held in place by the extractor. It might not cycle properly but it would likely go BOOM at least once.

It will work, probably.
But, it doesn't take rocked appliances to know a little something about headspace. |

A friend of mine was at a range once with 2 handguns in 1 lane, one was 380 one was 9mm.
He loaded a single round of 380 into the top of the 9mm mag, he was complaining about how hard he had to push it to get it to seat in the mag. He kept trying but it wouldnt go into battery, after a minute he realized his mistake. I believe it was a glock 9mm, don't remember what model though. |

It'd most likely fire, but he'd be taking a trip to Stovepipe City.

In a Glock 17, the .380 fired and you could see the round pop out of the barrel and go about 10 feet until it fell into the dirt.

The case might be indeed strong enough to contain the pressure. That's like how pistol rounds shoot in dreams, if you can get the trigger to work. |

Yes it will work, i have fired probably 1 or 2 mags worth of .380 out of my glock 26.
Accuracy is fine, cases bulge pretty good and you have to hand cycle it, otherwise it works just fine.
Never chrono'ed it for velocity but they make holes in paper. In other news, i could give a fuck about a glock

Will it even chamber? .380 cases are larger at the base, and use a different shell holder than 9mm.

It's possible the gun is a 9mm Kurz, Short, .380, whatever... and the cop just saw the "9mm" written on the side. |

Cycled, ejected, nothing spectacular. .380 cases loaded to .380 specs may not work though. |

We need laws that don't allow 17 year old kids to buy handguns.  But he may have got it from Travon, they look related.

I use .380 in glock 17 mags to instruct malfunction drills. The round will fire, but the case won't eject.

The brass expands to the size of the chamber and the bullet leaves the barrel. Not as much zip on it, but it'd work once. |

One time at the range my buddy set his box of open .380 right beside my 9mm. I loaded an entire mag and made it through 13 shots before I had any type of failure.
The only thing that happened was the slide didn't fully return to battery. This was in a P226. |
