Is it safe to fire .380ACP in a gun chambered for 9MM?
and i can guess what that hi point was used for...
...most likely SASS cowboy action shoot events.and i can guess what that hi point was used for...
probably not IDPA.
Actually, a 9mm Browning High Power will feed and fire .380 ACP quite nicely. The slide cycles well, also. As in 9mm, the extractor holds the case against the breech face, so the firing pin doesn't extend out any further.
How about in the 9mm cylinder for a Blackhawk .357?
I know better, figured it was worth asking because:
Some random dude shows up at my work, must be a friend of one of our mechanics, because one of them pulls me aside and says hey you want to buy some guns? There stands this unkempt looking dude who I have never seen before in my life. Getting right down to business...
yo I got a 9MM for sale.
what kind?
Hi-Point.
I'll pass.
yo I got some .380 ammo for sale too.
I don't own anything chambered in .380, thanks.
yo you can shoot .380 in a 9, I do it all the time.
thanks, good day.
cliff notes: random dude shows up and says he shoots .380 in his 9MM Hi-Point and I don't have the heart to call him out, even though I've never heard of anyone doing this, ever, so I err on the side of caution and ask my colleagues.
