Historical Background

The 9mm Parabellum cartridge was adopted by the German military for the famous P08 Luger pistol and saw extensive service throughout the First World War.

By 1917, German 9mm ammunition production had moved from the earlier truncated-cone projectile to the round-nosed bullet design, as represented by this example.
