Can you shoot a 9mm bullet from a 380 handgun?
9mm and 380 both use bullets with a diameter of .355. But the answer to the question you're probably asking is, no, you cannot fire a 9mm parabellum cartridge from a .380 handgun. The 9mm cartridge is different than the .380 cartridge. Even though both are 9mm in diameter, the overall cartridge lengths are different.

Can a 9mm bullet work in a .380 gun?
9mm and 380 both use bullets with a diameter of .355.

You cannot fire a 9mm Parabellum cartridge from a .380 handgun. The 9mm cartridge will not fit into the chamber of the gun.

Can you use a 9mm in a 380 or a 380 in a 9mm?
Assuming you're referring to the 9x19mm (also known as the 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger) and the .380 ACP (also known as the 9x17mm, 9mm Short, and 9mm Kurz), the answer is no on both counts, and it would be extremely dangerous to try this.
Can you use 9mm in a 380?

Can a 380 hi point handgun shoot a 9mm bullet?
It depends on what you mean exactly. 380 is a bullet that is 9mm in diameter, but it is not the same as what most people mean when they say 9mm. Usually, at least in the U.S. the term 9mm refers to 9mm para which is 9x19. A 380 cartridge is 9x17, so it is shorter. It may be possible to fire a 9x19 cartridge out of a 380 gun, but it is a bad idea because it is too long, and because it is a much higher pressure cartridge.
