That is not a safe way to look at it. There are a few .30 calibre pistol rounds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62_mm_caliber
There are many pistol cartridges in this caliber, but most common are:

7.62×25mm Tokarev, also known as 7.62 mm TT, used in the Tokarev pistol, and many of the WWII Soviet submachine guns.
7.63×25mm Mauser, which was the basis for, and has nearly identical dimensions to the Tokarev, but has different loading specifications.
7.65×25mm Borchardt, from which both the Mauser and Parabellum cartridges were developed.
7.65×21mm Parabellum
7.65×17mm Browning, also known as the .32 ACP.

It will be dangerous to try to fire a cartridge in a pistol that is not chambered for it. It is a recipe for disaster.
