9x19mm Parabellum (no ontology)

From Mazeworld

9x19mm Parabellum (also known as 9mm Para, 9mm Luger, sometimes simply referred to as 9x19mm or just 9mm) is a pistol cartridge designed by Georg Luger in 1901, and first produced by Deustche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in 1902. It has since become the world's most popular and widely used pistol cartridge in the world besides .22 Long Rifle. Low cost, proven military and law enforcement effectiveness and more than a century of data and information about this cartridge all help to solidify this reputation as of today. 9x19mm is the service handgun cartridge of a wide variety of military forces, including that of virtually all NATO member countries, is used by over 60% of all law enforcement agencies in the United States, and is one of the most popular cartridges on the civilian market, often being touted as ideal for personal defense, as well as being suitable for target and competition shooting.

Originally developed to become the new service handgun cartridge of the German Empire in 1902, it has since been adopted by many countries and developed in countless variants, among the most notable of which: Numerous commercial JHP loads developed for the civilian and law enforcement market (Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, Cor-Bon JHP+P, Remington Golden Saber, and many many more), "submachine gun" and other overpressure loads (such as the so-called +P and +P+ loads), Russian armor-piercing loads 7N21 and 7N31, competition shooting derivatives (such as 9mm Major, which refers to a 9x19mm cartridge handloaded to attain a "Major" USPSA power factor), a wide variety of more exotic rounds, such as the unique THV and Geco BAT cartridges, as well as countless handloads created by civilian shooters and enthusiasts.

As of today, 9x19mm is widely considered to be the gold standard in terms of handgun cartridge, against which all others are compared. The list of iconic firearms chambered in 9x19mm is very long; the Beretta 92 series, the Glock pistol family, the Browning Hi-Power, the H&K MP5 and IMI UZI submachine guns, to only name a scant few.
