for the German Luftwaffe, as a more powerful alternative to the 9×17mm used in the Walther PP, also a simple blowback design pistol. Nikolay Fyodorovich Makarov went on to design the Makarov PM pistol around the 9×18mm Makarov round in 1948. It was based on the 9×18mm Ultra cartridge which was developed in 1936 by Gustav Genschow & Co. Semin in 1946, and was intended to be a relatively powerful round with modest bolt thrust that could function safely in a simple or direct blowback pistol. The 9×18mm Makarov round was designed by B.V. A direct blowback design was chosen for the pistol's operation, since it would be quick and cheap to manufacture, as well as accurate, due to the fixed barrel design allowed by direct blowback operation. The army wanted something that was lighter, with a heel release instead of a button and different ammunition. During the war the Red Army had found a few shortcomings of its 7.62mm TT-33 pistol, one of which was a tendency to inadvertently drop its magazine while in operation. This ammunition is still in use by many of these countries today. During the latter half of the 20th Century it was a standard military pistol cartridge of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc, analogous to the 9×19mm Parabellum in NATO and Western military use.ĭuring the Second World War and the early Cold War, the 7.62×25mm Tokarev was the standard automatic pistol round for the Soviet Union and its satellites in Eastern Europe.

The 9MM Makarov bullet is slightly wider in diameter at. (Note : Not sure what the last 2 sentences mean tho) Neither the case nor the bullet are the same. Here is more details if any one is curious and/or perhaps as dumb as I was about this. Live and learn.Īnyone have any good referrals for a good home protection round that will do the damage necessary to drop an intruder and keep him down? (assuming in an unbiased way, that "he" would be a "him".) I would also be curious what grain weight would be recommended. I am lucky it got stuck in the chamber, in some ways, so in an emergency situation, I would not be counting "worthless" 9MM Makarov ammo in my nightstand. ammo for home protection and yet I did not do the correct thing and try it out at the range first. Prior to all this and after running a few hundred rounds through her at the range, I thought I was doing right by getting some "Expensive" H.P.

Hence and result was, me learning how to Rack and Clear a 9. So its news to me, but it may be common knowledge to others, that the 9MM Luger (9x19) has a different bullet diameter than 9MM Makarov.
