You are going to get answers, a lot of them, and some will be more detailed than you anticipated. you gotta be careful about asking questions on this forum. The casing diameters, construction (some are revolver rounds), and lengths all vary. Of course you can't fire those rounds in a gun not designed for it.
I know there are some who know the story more accurately and will fill us in! The only ones not exaggerating are the 9mm and the.
#9MM LUGER VS 9MM PLUS#
354 plus or minus a thousandth or 2, in diameter. 357 Magnum are all essentially the same diameter bullet? 9mm= 0.3543in. Wanna get confused? I know it's not fair when you're asking 'early-on' questions (just like I was asking a few years ago~).ĭid you know that 9mm. You'd be hard pressed to find 9mm Largo anywhere except maybe a gun museum! Later on found out "kurtz" meant "short" and that it was also. I had a gun labelled 9mm Kurtz, and the guy behind the counter didn't have a clue what to put in it. Largo is a tad longer, and 9mm Kurtz is also. What they all said! Welcome to the forum! Pretty much any factory 9mm will work in your Shield (excellent choice, by the way!!)- just be sure it's not something "off" like 9mm Largo or 9mm Kurtz. It costs a few cents more per round, but is worth it. Your new gun should work fine with any number of brands. Just buy standard velocity 9mm Luger FMJ (Full metal jacket) ammunition. Steel isn't as "springy" as brass, and sometimes guns have problems extracting it reliably. I personally don't like steel cased cartridges, and much prefer the reliability of brass cased cartridges. This allows the cartridge to be extracted from the chamber so that the next cartridge can be loaded in. After the bullet leaves the barrel, the pressure is spent and the brass springs back a bit away from the sides of the chamber. This seals the brass for a moment in the chamber while the bullet is pushed out of the cartridge, into the leade and down the rifling in the barrel. When your gun fires a cartridge, the brass (which is malleable) is pushed out against the chamber wall by the pressure of the powder.
It has many names, and it looks like someone is trying to add an additional variation that they can brand and sell as "9mm Automatic". The 9mm Luger cartridge is a "straight walled" cartridge that has been in usage in one form or another for 112 years. Here's the SAAMI standard specification for the 9mm Luger ammunition your 9mm Luger S&W Shield was designed to work with:
