There is no difference, think Chevy/Chevrolet.

"ACP" stands for Automatic Colt Pistol.

Wait till you go to buy 9mm . You have 9mm, 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, 9x19 . Probably a few more I missed.

With the 9mm it can get really confusing, not only do you have some many descriptions for the 9x19, you also have the 9mm Largo, 9mm Kurz, 9x21, and probably a host of others that I can't remember that will NOT fit a 9mm Parabellum.

9mm NATO (124gr FMJ bullet @ 1250fps) is identical dimensionally to 9x19 , 9mm Luger , 9mm Parabellum , except it is loaded to somewhat higher pressure (27,000psi) than US/SAAMI standard. It's more like +P. No problems in modern pistols.
