Can 9mmP gun fire 9mmK ammo?

223 and 5.56 different these days??

223 and 5.56 different these days??

Only since forever. They are different cartridges but are, for the most part, functionally interchangeable.

[KingMST]

This is wrong, if you have 9mmP you are not allowed to have or buy 9mmK ammo

Please see my quote from the Act and Tetelestai's post below yours.
But okay, you win the interweb...

you may only have ammunition for the firearm licenced to you as per your firearm licence. Having a 357 does not allow you to have 38sp ammo etc

You are mistaken. As are some dfo's sadly.

DFO or gun shop counter jockey told you that?

CHAPTER 10
CONTROL OF AMMUNITION AND FIREARM PARTS
Prohibition of possession of ammunition
90. No person may possess any ammunition unless he or she—
(a) holds a licence in respect of a firearm capable of discharging that ammunition;
(b) holds a permit to possess ammunition;
(c) holds a dealer’s licence, manufacturer’s licence, gunsmith’s licence, import,
export or in-transit permit or transporter’s permit issued in terms of this Act;
or
(d) is otherwise authorised to do so.

Nope. See numerous explanations as above.

I stand corrected, never to old to learn something.

[Peter Wells]

Yup Johan, I promise you that will you will get more learning done from the guys on here than from your average DFO, cop, PF or whatever.
Suggestion - start by learning who to believe. That is normally the guy with proof.

Sort of related . I tried chambering an A-zoom 9mm Para snapcap in my wife's 9mmk pistol, it did not chamber. Assumption is a beach !

[Pierre6925]

Yep, nope. You may only have ammunition that can be fired from a firearm for which you have a license. Small but subtle difference. This means you may have 38 Special ammunition on a 357 Magnum license. And 223 on a 5.56mm license. Etc. Etc.

Trust me you are not allowed to buy 38 if your license is for 357 unless your license reads 38/357 magnum I used to be able to buy like this but not any more had the same problem and it was escalated all the way to Col Semanye or some thing like that and she just said sorry even when I quoted the law o well
