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.

4 of 5 Stars
Compared to, and better than Glock 19
By Hasaf on 20 Apr 2024
I say better, but that is very subjective. I happen to like Hammer fired, DA/SA, a de-cocker, and the paddle magazine release. The reality is that there is very little on the market that has that list of features. I marked it as 4 of 5 only because of its size. It is a bit much for a daily carry pistol.
