The 9x19 cartridge, also known as 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum, is one of the most widespread pistol cartridges in the world.
Development and history of the cartridge:
The cartridge was designed in 1902 by the German company Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) for their new army pistol Luger P 08, which was engineered by Georg Luger. This cartridge was a high-performance version of the older 7.65 mm Luger cartridge. In 1904, the pistol and cartridge were introduced in the German Navy and in 1908 throughout the German Army.
Due to its outstanding parameters, the cartridge soon attracted interest in other countries and quickly spread worldwide. Interestingly, its performance, rate of fire, and reliability significantly contributed to the proliferation of semi-automatic pistols over revolvers.
Today, the 9x19 cartridge is produced by many ammunition manufacturers and is the standard pistol caliber for NATO and various other armies around the world. It is also frequently used in rifles designed for pistol cartridges and has become the dominant cartridge for submachine guns since World War II.
The 9x19 has good ballistic properties, an acceptable size, and a manageable recoil, even in smaller pistols for concealed carry. Another advantage is its widespread availability, although a potential disadvantage is its relatively narrow wound channel and easier penetration through targets, thereby limiting its stopping power.
The name Parabellum is derived from the Latin "Si vis pacem, para bellum" ("If you seek peace, prepare for war"), reflecting the importance of this cartridge in the context of war.
