The original 9x19mm bullet designed by Georg Luger WMD made by DWM of Germany was a 124gr Truncated Cone FMJ. Also cataloged by DWM were a Truncated Cone HP and a rounded FMJ in the same weight. Shortly thereafter came the 115FMJ.
Over the years many different bullets/loads were developed for the cartridge, from light weight practice rounds and wooden bulleted blanks to heavy 170gr FMJ's for suppressed guns. The 147gr loads really didn't come into existence until the early 1980's. (see below)
