This figure shows a prototype 9mm Automatic cartridge along with a 9mm Luger cartridge. It is a potent cartridge for its size and offers good performance with well-designed bullets.īut the cartridge has a troubling flaw: it’s tapered. The 9mm Luger has become especially popular for small, compact carry guns intended for self-defense. Frank Barnes (2006) notes that it is the most widely used cartridge in the United States. It is chambered in handguns, submachine guns and rifles, and is the standard NATO round for handguns. Since then, the 9mm Luger-also known as the 9mm Parabellum, 9X19, 9mm NATO or just the 9mm-has become one of the most popular cartridges on the planet. It has been flawed since its development around 1902 by Georg Luger for his famous Luger pistol.
