I was referring to lost 9mm CARTRIDGES, not empty 9mm brass.
Point being that you cannot be sure it is safe to fire in your gun just because it goes in, since there are so many loadings of different pressure , same size case..
You really don't want to put a 9 X19 Luger cartridge into an Italian 9X 19 Glisenti pistol, or 38 Super into 38 ACP (both are true 9mm), or 9X18mm Ultra cartridges into a 9 X18 Makarov, and so on..
