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.

Excellent Sub-Compact

After about 10 years of diligently looking, I finally found one in the hard case and with all of the candy. It is as close to new condition as it could be. I paid $617.00 plus shipping on GunBroker. It has the usual fantastic fit and finish that one comes to expect with all IWI products. Everything is tight as a drum. The cold hammered forged, chrome lined, polygonal barrel, the steel slide, everything. No exceptions. Three dot iron sights, very nice 3.5-4 lbs./ft DA/SA trigger. It certainly has some heft to it, but that helps with recoil. It is quite pleasant to shoot. This was my first 9mm. I've always shot .40 S&W or .45. All of my pistols, by the way, are IWI. When I find something that I like, I tend to stick with it. I have six in various iterations plus a Magnum Research MR40 that just may be the best of the lot. Paid $285.00 for it when it was announced. They had a special introductory price for a very limited time. Even at the MSRP today, I find it to be an amazing value.
