9mm.Largo

[luger]

My cz52 fails to feed quite often with 9mm.parabellum but is very good with Largo,so
of course I go with that.I am surprised that with all the Stars,Llamas,&Astras out there,
that there is not sufficient interest to make it a commecial proposition.

Because most CZ 52s seem to run quite well on 9MM, and the Largo is an obsolete cartridge.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does one get 9mm Largo into a 9mm Parabellum chamber? It is not called "largo" (long) for nothing.

And isn't the VZ-52 chambered for 7.62x25 or has that one been rebarrelled?

It appears he has a 9mm largo barrel for his cz52. Probably the reason for the failure of 9x19 is that it is a rimless cartridge, and the extractor is not up to holding it next to the firing pin. BTW using a shorter case in an autoloader is really not good for your extractor.
