Isn't the 9mm Kurz AKA .380 ACP?

Also IIRC it was a Browning design. "Browning Short"

You are correct.

Despite what many think of this caliber, it's a reasonable compromise for carry protection; especially under a suit jacket.

I have two Sigs. One is the P226 in 9mm Parabellum, and a P232 in 9mm Kurz (.380).

I have twin Ruger Vaquero .357 Blackhawks for SASS shooting (.38 spl. loads only) and will take one on camping/hunting trips loaded with .357.

Regardless, they are not my choice for carry or bedside.
