    Can you fire the shorter 9x18 in a gun chambered for 9mm Luger? Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it...

    I was just thinking because I noticed a lot of "OUT OF STOCK" icons next to 9mm Luger items, but can find plenty of places with 9x18.

    I will not be attempting though, based on ya'lls advice.

    9x18 is an excellent round! I recently got into 9x18 caliber guns and they are a joy to shoot!! I think I enjoy them more than my 9x19

    Yep. 9x18 is .363. 9mm Luger is .356

    Not interchangeable.

    wait a minute -- you mean that "9" is not "9"?

    what a surprise.

    I wasn't going to try it (all my stuff is 9mm lugar... have resisted the Makarov because I am not in a hurry to multiply calibres...) but I would have suspected the answer to the OP would have been yes. Thanks for the education!!
