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.

Reliable, accurate, 13 rnd capacity and for me comfortable to shoot and carry every day. In a world full of excellent striker fired concealment pistols this 35 yr old gun is now my daily carry.

My every day carry gun. I carried my issue Glock 19 for 20 years in a Galco Miami Clssic shoulder rig. Great gun! Upon retirement I found my Glock 19 and 26 a bit bulky for every day carry. I dropped down to the Glock 43 with a +1 mag extension. Due to a hand injury I found the 43 very difficult to shoot. My fault not the gun. I found a very good condition 6906 for sale at a good price and paired it with a good quality kydex IBW holster. The 6906 prints less than the Glock 19 and 26. After I was convinced the 6906 was reliable and I was competent with it, I started carrying it daily. It's very reliable, accurate, excellent recoil management, good sights and very smooth trigger. Double/single transition took a bit of practice but experience with double action revolver shooting helped plus I shoot a lot. For me it's a excellent carry piece.
