I saw an article recently about shooting a .40 out of a 10 mm glock and how it works flawlessly.
So I was at the range today with my G43, G42, and Kahr P380, and got to thinking. Gee I wonder if I could shoot .380 out of my 9mm glock. So I took the gun apart and slid the .380 up under the extractor and it fit nice and tight. Then I dropped a .380 into the 9mm chamber. The base of a .380 round is a bit smaller than 9mm. But it is about the same diameter up at the bullet. The bottom line is that the case would be well supported in the 9mm chamber.
So i gave it a shot, No problems. The round went off with the case held against the breach by the extractor.
I checked the brass and it was only very slightly bulged. Certainly less than I have seen with some other guns I've owned. The only problem was that the round was not powerful enough to eject.
So I racked the slide, chambered another round from the magazine and it fired fine. Interesting.
So . . any thoughts?
