When George Luger designed the 9mm Parabellum in 1901, 123 years ago and 3 years before John Browning created the .45ACP in 1904, I’m not sure he expected the longevity of his creation, not did he expect how modem technology & ballistics could transform the 9x19 into what the cartridge is today.
Its many variants have something for just about everybody- that is, if used within its limits. An anti bitey-scratchy of the grizzly kind cartridge it’s not. Sure it may kill one, but your far better off with something much harder-hitting.
So, in light of the former .45ACP thread, I thought it would be good to chew the fat about a few others…9mm gets the spotlight here.
What are your favorite loads for those who run 9mm machines? What are your likes/dislikes about the 9mm?
