About the Gun

The 3900 series consists of a variety of 9mm Luger 'Third Generation' pistols derived from the Model 39 and 439, the so-called 'First Generation' and 'Second Generation' patterns. They all have single column magazines. These are double-action semi-autos utilizing the well-tried Browning locking mechanism and a Walther-style decocking safety lever on the rear left side of the slide.

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.
