The Russians use a 9mm Makarov which is a different caliber than 9 mm parabellum

9X18 (Makarov) vs 9X19(Parabellum) is not THAT different. I'm not sure I'd want to try and use the ammunition interchangeably though.

I'll stick with my old standby. .45 Colt revolver.

A Makarov round will not fire in a 9mm parabellum(.355)

A 9mm parabellum will fire in a Makarov(.365).
