Q
David, guest, from CA, United States, asked on October 25, 2021

Will adapter also allow you to shoot .380 since that is just 9mm x 17?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 15, 2022

The Chiappa Firearms X-Caliber 12ga/9mm Gauge Adapter Insert is designed for use with 9mmx19 ammunition. While, yes, you could shoot a 380 through a 9mm barrel the headspacing is different. 380 is 2mm shorter and will have to make a "jump" those extra 2mm which will cause wear and gas cutting. Overtime it will cause more damage and not allow a standard 9mmx19 to seat properly causing dangerous pressure spikes.

Can you shoot +p and high +p+ ammo through this?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 27, 2024

The Chiappa Firearms X-Caliber 12ga/9mm Gauge Adapter Insert is compatible with +P and +P+ ammunition in light amounts. Heavy use of +P or +P+ will cause excessive wear and degradation, shortening its service life.

The manufacturer does not list any restrictions on chamber length. I am not aware of anyone using epoxy to secure the adapter, since that could cause permanent damage to the gun if you ever removed the adapter, but I would image the extra stability wouldn't hurt accuracy.

Yes, this can handle +P ammo, however there have been reports that +P groupings are more erratic than standard 9mm.

Do I need to buy a separate extractor or does the one on the shotgun do the job?
