Will a shortened 9x19 case work in a Makarov chamber? There are more dimensional differences than just length between the two. A 9x19 case has a taper (0.391" at the extractor groove to 0.380" at the case mouth, the 9x18 is a straight case (0.392" at the extractor groove to 0.390 at the case mouth). The extractor groove is also wider on the Makarov case than the 9x19 case.
