This German cartridge found acceptance in the US after successfully marrying with the browning hi power handgun. This is also a popular armed forces standard sidearm around the world.
The emergency of small but powerful semi-automatics chambered in 9mm Luger has made the cartridge a friendly conceal and carry accessory. New shooters in particular prefer this round since they can master and manage its defensive capabilities for better shot placement. Wide selections of ballistically solid guns are available for the 9mm Luger, ammo that is affordable and readily available. In certain scenarios, there may be better cartridges but none has the power, economy, and accuracy of the 9mm Luger round.
This winning combination makes shooters establish their choice, voicing their votes with hard-earned greenbacks. Shooters of slight build and female handgun lovers have this highly developed ammo over the snappy recoil of a. He duplicated the ballistic characteristics of the 9mm Parabellum, revising the tapered case walls to straight. This is because the 9mm Luger cartridge features a slight taper that narrows at about 0.
The taper in 9mm Luger rounds causes a nosedive gap, an exaggerated space between aligned cartridges sitting in a magazine. Single stack 9mm Luger magazines in particular are prone to feed issues due to the cartridges taper. While being backward compatible with guns chambered in 9mm Luger, the specifics for the 9mm auto are almost similar. Only the case wall, extractor groove and rim dimensions of the 9mm Luger need to be modified.
A smaller rim than that of the 9mm Luger is featured, though slightly for the 9x19mm automatic. The 9mm Luger in my possession tested at. This is within the. A Lapua with a case rim diameter functions on all my 9x19mm automatic pistols. The actual weight of a grain is extremely small. To give another example, a paper clip weighs about one gram, and An established fact is that at a given PF a heavier bullet going relatively slowly will produce less recoil and muzzle rise than a light bullet going faster.
Additionally, the lighter bullet will spend less time in the barrel which means a faster recoil impulse and thus a bit more muzzle rise. Conclusion: Bullet Grain Lighter weight generally means more speed and distance, but also more recoil and less power at the target. Lighter bullets are good for competition and long-range shooting. Heavier weight generally means more effectiveness, making them excellent for defense, large game and combat. The first difference is the casing length which, at The most important difference, however, it the bullet diameter, which is roughly.
One tenth of a millimeter might not sound like much, but the larger diameter can cause the bullet to jam in barrels designed for 9mm Luger. Designed by the famous John Browning, most people will know this cartridge as the. Other names for the cartridge in include the 9mm Short, Corto, Kurz, or 9x17mm. For this reason, the two are not interchangeable. At 23 millimeters in length, this cartridge is not interchangeable with the 9mm Luger. This round has different dimensions all around, including bullet diameter and neck diameter compared to the 9mm Luger.
It should load perfectly in any weapon designed for the cartridge. However, because 9mm NATO is a military round, manufacturers load it to higher pressures. This delivers greater velocity and energy. For practice, or gr. If you plan to shoot at an indoor range, find out what they allow then purchase your practice ammo based on that. For self defense, you'll want a jacketed hollowpoint or softpoint.
Few shooters can agree on what's best for defense, and millions of herds of dead horses have been flogged to dust in debate, so I won't get into it here. But I will say this: Only hits count. The finest bullet in the world is useless if you miss your aggressor.
Avoid off-brand, reloaded ammo. While it may not be dangerous, it is often hurriedly assembled and quality suffers, especially if it's loaded with lead bullets. Getting back to your original question, you will find that many calibers have various names. In Europe, the 7. Good luck with that 9mm Luger A couple of points about the post immediately above.
Just because a value is a pressure doesn't automatically mean it's "PSI". In fact, CUP is still the standard where that was the pressure first established for the cartridge.
The piezo guages are calibrated against ammunition that produces acceptable CUP pressures. The European CIL pressures are recorded at the case mouth. SAAMI pressures are recorded about mid cartridge. These differences can produce different pressure readings on identical cartridges regardless of units of pressure.
I'm not real sure off the top of my head what units of pressure Europe used in Since most euro countries had proof houses to test arms, there had to be some standard. The "hot subgun ammo" idea started largely because of the different pressures the euro folks load their ammo at.
The velocities produced by longer subgun barrels also boost the image. Finally, check your owners manual. Milton Boackle. Thank you very much for the info. I know a great deal more about 9mm ammo than I did before reading the replies to my question. Wow, even I learned a couple of things there. Good information guys. It shoots in my star pistols ok. In general when we talk about 9mm ammo and pistols we're talking about : 9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum, 9mmP, 9x19mm, 9mm NATO and 9mm x There are many other "9mm" cartridges too.
Most countries call it the 9mm Parabellum from the Latin: "Sic pacem, parabellum. I saw some results of testing various 9mm Parabellum loads by H. White laboratories after WWII. The 9mm Parabellum is now years old! Stoger copywrited the name "Luger" as regards to firearms.
Up thru the 's ammo boxes were semi-commonly marked 9mm Luger. They generally are either high dollar expreme subcompacts , or very inexpensive. Originally Posted by Milton Boackle. Nevada Ed.
