		The 9mm Parabellum also goes by the names 9mm Luger and 9x19mm, and is distinct from a number of other cartridges that use the designation "9mm" in their names (such as 9mm short, 9mm Makarov, 9mm largo).
		Lugers continued to be used as police side arms in the German Democratic Republic, which refurbished a number of existing guns.
		The most distinctive feature of the Luger is undoubtedly the toggle-lock mechanism, which holds the breech closed by locking in a manner not unlike the human knee, which can sustain a heavy weight when straight, but once bent, is quite easy to continue to bend.

	How Does
		The general consensus seems to be that the.38 Super is a more potent round than the 9x19mm, 9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum,, or whatever moniker is being used for our current military pistol round.
		Another factor to consider is that 9mm and 9x18mm Makarov are probably the least expensive centerfire handgun rounds to be found.
		At this time, I see the 9mm as not giving up enough to be significant for the fellow wanting to buy a pistol for protection and he'll certainly have more selection.

	GlockWorld - Glock Information - 9mm Ammo History and Popularity
		The popularity of the 9mm Luger/Parabellum (9x19mm) has been constant in Europe since World War I. Logistically, it is desirable for its size and versatility that allows its use in both pistols and submachine guns.
		Ammunition for the 9mm is loaded by virtually every manufacturer in the world, and within the U.S. there are at least 25 different loads produced by the five major companies that market factory ammunition.
		U.S.‑manufactured M882 NATO 9mm ammunition can be identified by the headstamp which, in the typical military fashion, identifies the maker and year of production‑‑example WCC 88 or FC 86 (signifying Western Cartridge Company, Olin Corporation's Winchester‑Western ammunition division, manufactured in 1988 or Federal Cartridge Company, manufactured in 1986).

		In today’s market, compact and pocket-size guns available for the 9mm and the.380 have essentially the same range of available features and performance capabilities—in fact, identical pocket-size 9mm and.380 pistol versions are increasingly available from the same manufacturer.
		The.380 ACP is nothing other than a short 9mm (its German name, in fact, 9mm Kurtz, literally translates as 9mm Short), and like the.22 Short in relation to the.22 Long Rifle, or even the.38 Special in relation to the.357 Magnum, the shorter cartridge has only a portion of the authority of the longer 9mm.
		This was when down-sized 9mm pistols had just begun to enter the market in sizable numbers following the enactment of the 1994 Crime bill’s magazine limitations, and the pistols used were a 3.5-inch Star Firestar for the 9mm and a three-inch S&W Baby Sigma for the.380 ACP.

		The 9mm luger, also called the 9mm Parabellum or 9x19, is the most popular caliber in the world for carry pistols.
		The 9mm luger is more powerful than the 38 special, and the 9mm +P ammo rivals the 40 S&W and 45 ACP in stopping power.
		Another plus for me anyway, is the 9mm is the most powerful caliber where I don't need ear protection when shooting outdoors.

		I have some of those rounds, the box is marked 9mm LUGER and 9mm PARA, which is supposed to be not as hot as 9x19mm NATO.
		I haven't fired a 9mm pistol in years (excluding a Tec-9 somebody let me shoot a couple months ago, but that doesn't count), but the Tokarev felt a little more powerful in terms of recoil.

	Inside the .45 GAP
		Glock took the notion to Speer, and the result is the.45 GAP, which has a cartridge case length of.775 inch--essentially the same as the 9mm Luger (9x19mm) cartridge case.
		The maximum cartridge length is 1.070 inch, which is actually a bit shorter than the 9mm Luger, to accommodate the wider profile of.45-caliber bullets at the front of the magazine well.
		This is for all practical purposes identical to the performance demonstrated by.45 ACP ammunition of the same bullet configuration--from a cartridge that is actually slightly shorter overall than the 9mm Luger.

	GunOwnersAlliance.com - Ask the Rabbi: 9mm Luger/Parabellum (Site not responding. Last check: )
		My understanding the difference in "Luger" and "Parabellum" is the pretty much name only and goes back to the age when these two types were basically the only 9's around, so in order to distinguish between the two, were the names.
		Now days "Parabellum" generally means military FMJ, and "Luger" means civilian HP.
		Luger and Parabellum are just two names for the same 9 mm cartridge (9 X 19).

	Let's Clean House
		The origins of the 9mm Luger round may be a trifle obscure, but its place in today's lineup of cartridges is crystal clear.
		I believe the 9mm's greatest virtue is size--small enough to fit into a double-column, high capacity magazine but, with enough case capacity to drive light (90 grains or so) bullets to 1,400 fps and heavy ones (147-grain subsonics) as fast as 1,000 fps.
		Intended to be a better performer than the 9mm in police and defensive service, the.40 S&W has really taken the country by storm.
