Wrong! Yes, I fired a 380 round out of my buddies ruger 9mm. Yes, it fired ok. but bent the firing pin. unless you are in all out war, do not do the same! 1 shot only!
*************
Both the 9mm Parabellum and the .380 headspace on the case mouth, since they are rimless catridges. IF a .380 catridge is held by the extractor it MAY fire, but as the previous poster noted, not safely. It may do a lot more damage than just bending a firing pin. Bad headspace can break the slide.

Can you shoot .38 caliber ammo in a 380 caliber handgun?
No. Ammo designated as .38 or .38 special is different than ammo designated as .380. .380 is designed for semi-auto handguns and .38 ammo is for revolvers.More to the point, the .38 Special has a longer case, and a larger diameter projectile. The .38 special bullet measures .357" diameter, the .380 measures .355" diameter. The .38 special is a 'rimmed' cartridge, and the .380 is 'rimless'. Luckily, .38 Special ammo will not fit in a .380 magazine, otherwise the results could be disastrous, possibly turning your .380 handgun into a hand grenade.
