DAMMIT, I felt like Kurtzing after that mistake.
Well, close enough for Gov't work.
9mm = 0.354
9.652mm = 0.380
..but who's quibbling?
..380 is 9mm Kurz, shoots a 9mm bullet.
9mmp aka 9mm Luger or 9x19 also shoots a 9mm bullet, albeit slightly
heavier. I don't know what's .380 about a .380ACP.
38 special, on the other hand, shoots a .357" bullet same as a .357
magnum. (Weights tend to differ)
