I thought I was buying 380 for my PPK but it turned out it is for the Makarov.

Is there anything out there that uses that round?

I have something like 350 rounds and no gun to feed it to.

I know you can't interchange 9 X 17 and 9 X 18.

I may have to take them to the Truro Gun Show on Sept 29 & 30th.

Only common gun I know of that shoots it is the Makarov which is prohib. I've shot one and another guest there shooting an older guys prohib pistols mixed it up and jammed a 9x19 in it so bad he needed a mallet so get the slide open. He put the gun away after that.

I thought I remembered there being a newer Russian made pistol that was available chambered in 9x18 but it never came to Canada; only the 9x19 version. There's also a number of submachine guns but of course none of us regular citizens get to play with those.
 
There are lots of handguns that use this caliber, Stechkin, Makarov, FEG and CZ however they are all prohib. Some were rebarreled and Interammo did import a batch of newer makarovs with restricted barrels in both 380 and 9 mak. So there may be some interest in this ammo anyways. Tradeex has some of it in stock so its not that uncommon.
I'm looking for makarov single stack mag. If anyone has one PM me please
