The 9x19, also called the 9mm Luger or the 9mm Parabellum, was adopted by the German Army in 1908 as the cartridge for the famous Luger pistol. It is possible to walk into most stores that carry ammo and ask for 9mm or 9mm Luger or 9x19 and they will know what you mean.

Sausage and lead party.

Not to hijack the thread with an ammo discussion, but is there any practical difference between 9 mm Luger and any other 9 mm ammo? In other words, could I use regular 9 mm ammo in my old Luger (if I had one) and use the 9 mm Luger ammo in my Glock (if I had one)? (I’m a .45 ACP guy, myself, so I don’t know.)

The 9 mm Glocks use 9 mm Luger as do the rest of the commonly available 9 mm handguns.

Hussein, Hassan, Mohammad...ya know...trouble just seems to follow those names around.

How can you be shot slightly??? Either you are shot or you are not. Slightly, where in the hell do these Journalism grads go to school???

Slightly,,, Yeah right..

[joe.fralick]

Thanks.

So, any bets: were these lads Minnesota Somalis, or some segment of our homegrown Muslim population?

LOL!! Judging by the perps age, you mean from his great-grandpa

The scary thing is that the three guys were named, Muhammed, Muhammed, and Muhammed.

The even worse thing is that, likely (correct me if I am wrong), they were not named Muhammed at birth.

In other words, guys are changing their name to Muhammed, and then...killing.

Probably Lutherans don’t ya know.

Naw. There was no mention about them bringing casseroles or three-bean salad.

What’s the difference between a “house party” that charges admission to men who want to meet women, and a brothel?

There weren't enough women.

Although there is a round that is the same diameter as the 9mm, but shorter: the .380 ACP (or Automatic Colt Pistol). It's significantly less potent because of the shorter casing.

The Germans call it "9mm kurz (short)."

What’s the difference between a “house party” that charges admission to men who want to meet women, and a brothel?

The price of admission...

...and apparently, the availability of women!

Cheers!

...oh, hi ,T.C. We keep on running into the same threads tonight.

Hope you're feeling better. (Cause articles like this about my beloved Minneapolis make me *sick*.)

You're obviously not a Minnesotan.

Here, we call it a "hot-dish".

Uffda.

I'm thinking typical miscreant Presbyterians.

[Durus]

9x19, 9mm Luger and 9mm Parabellum are the same round and you can use them interchangably for any firearm chambered for those rounds. How ever there are more then those type of 9mm rounds. There is the 9mm kurtz, the 9mm Largo, the 9x19, the 9x23 and I’m sure some I’ve never heard of

[Durus]

The second 9x19 should read 9x18

[joe.fralick]

Thanks to all the FReeper firearms experts for their input on 9 mm lore. Now, it’s off to bed with my .45 ACP under my pillow.
