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.

AMAZING!

Fantastic handgun FN has some of the best build quality of any handgun I have fired. The fact they include 3 magazines with this firearm is fantastic and size is a mid point between a Glock 19&26 if you use the 17rd mag you may get closer to a Glock 45 sized gun so great for bigger hands who want a nice concealable firearm and a decent to fantastic round count. I can't recommend this firearm enough it is slightly more expensive than a Glock but to me that's well worth it for a fantastic pistol out of the box!
