About the Gun

This model originated as the Polizei-Selbstladepistole (PSP) in response to a demand from the German police authorities for a pistol with adequate performance but the minimum of handling required to bring it to action quickly. This was a unique delayed blowback design utilizing a gas piston actuated recoil action. It is also known for its unique pistol-grip style cocking mechanism.

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.
