Military 9mm Para Ammo Specs - The Firearms Forum

Frogtop · 03-05-2012, 10:50 AM

I have a 1914 DWM P08 Luger that I do shoot on occasion. Can anyone please give me the "official" specs for the 9mm Para ammo that was issued for this fine old pistol. I am interested in bullet weight, muzzle velocity, COL, and any other relevant (or maybe irrelevant but interesting) information. I do realize the risk every time I 'pop a cap' by why buy 'em if you can't shoot 'em?
Thanks
