As originally designed by and loaded for Georg Luger by DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken) the round was an 8 gram (123.5 gr) lead-core bullet. This is the round the German Army originally used, but due to the lead shortage during the war, they developed two additional loads that...

Many departments base their ammo choice off of budgetary priorities, but on the other hand, departments that go out and purchase completely ineffective calibers, unreliable firearms or poor performing brands of cartridges, have to content with the police union. I'm saying this because gel...

The SCCY CPX is also hammer fired DAO.

Yes, Georg Johann Luger crossed a diamond with a pearl when he invented that cartridge.

Your generalized conclusions from this experiment are incorrect and misstated That "Beretta 92 style pistols are more sensitive to overlubrication/overgrease that for example the SD9VE Glock style pistol and Beretta 92 type pistols are more sensitive to the correct ammo than an Glock type...

Blazzer Brass, which is some of the softest shooting commercial ammo available moves a 124gr bullet at 1090 ft/sec for 327 ft-lbs

The existence of the 9mm Luger and all that it entails is the impetus for creating a revolver around it. One thing that the 9mm was not designed for - it was not designed to be shot from a revolver.

The weakness of snub-nosed revolvers chambered for 9mm is they're firing a cartridge that was never designed to be fired out of a snub-nosed revolver. Georg Johann Luger designed the Parabellum-Pistole and the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge together, or another way of saying it is that he...

George Luger invented the cartridge and the Parabellum-Pistole first and foremost to sell to the militaries of the world and not as a sporting pistol. So far the 147gr bullet weights have shown the best terminal ballistics in the FBI tests and IWBA protocol, like Federal 147gr HST and...

Are you referring to 9mm Luger or some other 9mm variant?

When Georg Luger designed the cartridge, it was designed in conjunction with the Parabellum-Pistole. The cartridges sitting in a magazine residing in the grip of a semi-automatic never experience the inertia force that they do while being gripped by the extractor groove by moonclips in a...

Sure and there are people who like the 1911-style platform and they'll buy a 1911 chambered in 9mm Luger, or a 380 Government Model. But if a gun enthusiast wanted the iconic 1911, they would want it in 45 ACP, because that's really what the 1911 is. If someone showed me their prized 1911...

Why would they order the 1911 chambered in 9mm? If someone in Germany were going to order a 1911 it would be silly to order it in 9mm. If someone were to order a Luger re-creation, they wouldn't order it chambered in .45 ACP or 38 Super. This has more to do with the desire to own a particular...
