OK, then we need to start a discussion on 9mm (Parabellum/Luger, Kurtz, Makarov...)

And 9mm short = .380

That is Kurtz or Kurz. These are all the same: 380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Short, and 9x17mm Whew!! LOL

I had to give this lesson to my 14 yr old 'self proclaimed gun expert' nephew at Christmas this year. His cousin (another nephew) wanted a 'cowboy style' pistol for his Christmas present from his parents. I helped his Dad pick out a nice Uberti single action in .45 LC. When the 'gun expert's' parents went to buy him some ammo for a present he told them 'Yeah, .45 is .45', and even when his Dad said he thought the rounds were not the same, he convinced him they were and they bought .45 ACP. Luckily I bought the ACP from the nephew and he went and got some LC.

I have decided if I start a business I am only going to hire teenagers as they ALWAYS know EVERYTHING!!
