Even if you know very little about guns, perhaps just what you’ve picked up from watching TV and movies, you’ve probably gathered there’s a round called 9mm.
As you learn more, you probably discover it’s a pistol round, but you’ll soon hear other terms like Luger and Parabellum.
So you might wonder… what is the difference between 9mm, 9mm Luger, and 9×19 Parabellum?
In short, nothing.
9mm Luger and 9x19mm Parabellum refer to the exact same round. When someone refers to 9mm, they almost always mean 9x19mm.
