I am not a big 9mm fan, so my knowledge on this round is limited. A coworker purchased a 9mm XD recently and we finally went to the range. He then brings out his ammo which is 9mm luger. I told him that I did not think that this was the correct round for this pistol. He has bought a bunch of this caliber and this was his first time out with this pistol.
We were mainly shooting longarms so this didn't ruin his trip. Was I correct in warning him against trying to shoot this round in his XD?
Isn't 9x19 the parabellum and not the luger? Or is it the same thing basically with just a marginal difference, kind of like the difference in .308 Win and 7.62 x 51?
Thanks in advance for answering my dumb question! :biggrin:
