About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.

I Have This Pistol
By babbalou1569 on 06 Mar 2018
I wanted a small, reliable, TRUE DAO (not Kahr) 9mm pocket pistol & this was the only choice. But a great one. I hear it's discontinued for 2018. It replaced my Ruger LCR 38 as my everyday carry gun.
