9x18 Mak is a larger diameter bullet than a 9mm and not compatible with your gun unless it's a 9x18 Mak. .355 vs .366 (I think)
Welcome to the forum.

Yeah, larger bullet(.363) and less power than 9X19. Hopefully this ammo craze will start to calm down before too long.

If your S&W says 9MM Luger, do not use 9MM Makarov.
NOT THE SAME SIZE!

Kunerd, if you have an Academy Sporting Goods near you, they tend to keep target 9mm Luger in stock at $10.87 a box.

9X18 Makarov is a totally different round so definitely don't use it in a regular 9mm pistol.I've got FEG PA-63 pistol in that caliber that I really like after changing the recoil and firing pin springs.Now I just need to change the grips on it and the gun will be set for the rest of it's lifetime!

Absolutly top notch. I have purchased 3 sets (one was a custom engraved gift) for different guns.

Wyo-man have you replaced the springs with the Wolf springs yet ? I did and it made a big difference in the feel of my pistol !
