Not necessarily. It has been my experience that new brass, whether for reloading or from factory ammo, is considerably shorter than the actual SAAMI spec chamber dimension. The fact that 9x19 mm gets pushed into the chamber and 9x21 mm headspaces correctly without clips serves to illustrate that. Measure the brass and compare to specs and measure the chamber. Just because 9x21 fits doesn't mean that is what the cylinder is chambered for - it means that your 9x21 mm brass is short.
Just a little fuel for the fire.
