What is the difference?

Can someone tell me the difference between a 9mm Luger and a 9mm Parabellum?

Or are they the same?

Yes.

It might be funny to see how the media would handle that question. No doubt they'd translate parabellum into 'armor piercing', or worse.

Which round would be the same as a 9x19?

Which round would be the same as a 9x19?

Both of them.

I believe that the actual European designation is 9x19 Parabellum.
aka 9mm Parabellum
aka 9mm Luger
aka 9x19

It all depends on just how anal one wants to be.

9mm Long Luger ;--))

Let's not forget the 9mm NATO round . . . another identical to the Luger and Parabellum.

no no dog the bounty hunter said Blazer ammo is the bad stuff lmao

I guess we could throw the 9mm Federal or 9x19R into the list.

 

[Crazy K38]

the only oddball 9mm I can think of offhand is 9mm macarov which is 9x18 pretty much everything else is your standard 9mm

9mm parabellum is wartime issue

the other stuff is for peace time or sporting use.
