Re: WWII Pistol

As I understand 9mm rounds there are four flavors: 9x17 (.380 or Short), 9x18 (Makarov), 9x19 (9mm Luger), and 9x23 (Largo).

Because there are a variety of rounds that would fit, doesn't necessarily mean that they should be used in your gun. I would encourage you to figure out exactly which rounds the gun is designed for and buy some new ammo to run through it. This way you don't ruin your gun, or hurt yourself in the process.

Sounds like a great piece! Enjoy!

A friend of mine brought an Astra 600 over to my house a couple of weeks ago for talking points. He can't find ammunition for it. It has the German proof marks and is old enough for a senior discount. ;-)
