| .380 ACP some companies call it the .380 auto some the 9mm Kurtz. Nothing like the .38 spl, it's kind of like a 9mm only shorter.

| 9x17 versus the standard 9mm (9x19) or the makarov round (9x18) |

| ^+1, the only thing I'd add is that it does use the standard .355 dia. 9mm bullet. The 9x18 Makarov round uses a .363 dia. bullet.

the .380 ACP (also know as the 9mm kurz) is actually .355 caliber and has nothing to do with any other .38 caliber. | |

Maybe we should also point out to him that so called .38's are actually .357 caliber. A beginner may not know that. | |
