Georg Luger invented the Pistole Parabellum in 1894, commonly known today as the “Luger” after its creator.

·         Parabellum is in reference to the Latin, Si Vis Pacem, which translates to “prepare for war if you seek peace.”

·         Luger improved upon a design developed by American Hugo Borchardt.

·         The Luger was specifically designed for its penetrating power and ability to penetrate field gear.

·         9mm ammo travels faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is 1125 ft/s and a bullet fired from a 9mm handgun moves at around 1180 ft/s.

·         According to Gun Digest: when the Luger was first released in the United States for $30.00. That price included a kit which included a wooden shoulder stock with detachable cheekpiece, leather holster, 3 spare magazines, a wooden dummy magazine which included tools, ramrod and oiler and an instruction manual. For an extra $5.00 a fitted leather case was included.

·         The 9mm is the handgun of the FBI. Scientific analysis has proven that FBI shooters fire more quickly and more accurately utilizing the 9mm than firing the similar sized .40 S & W. They have also discovered that under extreme stress, even senior agents with a great deal of field time miss, often. That is why the ability of follow-up fire is an absolute necessity.

·         It is also very popular among United States law enforcement. 60% of police choose to carry a 9mm handgun.

·         9mm offers double the carrying capacity of a .45.

·         The flatter trajectory of the 9mm means it’s not as critical to judge exact distance when firing, as a slight variance will still impact a target.

·         Due to its size and soft recoil, it is a great gun for beginners, and/or women who may have smaller hands.

·         Firearms manufacturers now have the technology and capabilities to produce 9mm pocket carry guns that are essentially the same size of the popular .380 ACP pocket guns.

Debunking Some Common Handgun Defense Myths

Image
There are some beliefs and misapprehensions held by people, sometimes large groups of people, that defy explanation. It’s not clear where these myths came from, why anyone even considers them, much less actively believes them, or why they’re still around. Then there are the myths that, while not true (being myths), people can’t really be blamed for occasionally believing. They often make good intuitive sense, may be considered longtime conventional wisdom, and may have been repeated by the experts in a given field. Those are the breed of common handgun defense myths that will be covered and (hopefully) debunked here. Stopping Power The fact that stopping power is a practically entirely mythical standard has actually been getting a good bit of coverage recently. Despite that, its rejection is still strongly contested by a considerable portion of the gun community. That’s no surprise since it hits all three believability markers: It has been repeated as gospel by civil...

With the exception of the forever-popular .22LR, it's very likely that more people are shooting .300 AAC Blackout from AR-15s than anything but the .223 Remington. It's not like there aren't other excellent calibers for the AR-15 platform that remain popular. But whether Grendel or SOCOM, Creedmoor or Valkyrie, propelled by buzz or hype, Blackout has rocketed past them all in popularity. While there are inevitably going to be shooters for whom it’s just not their cup of tea, that popularity isn’t just hype or an overrated, flavor-of-the-month cartridge. The .300 AAC Blackout has earned its place in the top echelon of centerfires with impressive versatility. Small and Medium Game While the .300 AAC Blackout was originally designed as an AR-15 (M4) compatible suppressible military cartridge to provide a harder thump for close-quarters combat, the civ...
