    WW2 9mm ammo

    Does anybody have info on world war 2 9mm ammo like projectile weight, and velocity. Are they similar or comparable to present day SAAMI spec or +P rated?

      I have always read 124gr was the most popular weight, although I also think many different weight and profile bullets were made. I have also read that the pressures were higher (like mid-39K PSI) than current SAAMI +P standard.

        WW2 - 115 gr.
        NATO - 124 gr.
        The bullets with my name on it I'm not worried about, it's the "To whom it may concern" ones I'm worried about.
