Regarding the subject pistol, for the P232 380 ACP, is 380 = 9mm kurz?

  Yep, the Kurz means "short" so hence the 380 (9x17) is a shortened variety of the 9x19 Parabellum/Luger. 9mm Kurz is just the more common European designation of the 380

  Thanks, just traded for the SIG P232 380 and wanted to make certain that I had the right ammo. The 9mm Kurz on the side of the pistol made me start thinking....should know better.
