7.65/380 interchnable?

Edward Tinker · 01-29-2014, 07:23 PM

yes, 7.65mm is usually called 30 Luger in the USA

32 acp, 380 acp are bullet wise, close, but not close case wise.

7.63mm for broomhandles is a totally different cartridge than 30 Luger

Ed,
I'm pretty sure that 7.65mm is the equivalent to our .32 ACP round.

IIRC, 7.65mm (the 7.65x17mm round) was the "substitute standard" round used by the German military and police during WW2.

The Walther PP, Sauer 38H, Hungary's model 37 (as used by the Luftwaffe), and the Czech Vz. 27 were all chambered in 7.65mm.

Respectfully,
Jason

Agreed. I've fired 32 ACP through my Walther PP and PPK without issues. They're both 7.65mm.
