[QUOTE="Sanford, post: 2642188, member: 27733"] I suppose an irrelevant link is as good as no link. That article is about the 1911 pistol and not the .45 caliber cartridge which it mentions only sidereally - and certainly doesn't support your statement that its "inception was absurd" any more than... "Demand for larger calibers in military sidearms led to Luger to develop the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge for his new pistol. This was achieved by removing the bottleneck shape of the 7.65×21mm Parabellum case, resulting in a tapered rimless cartridge encasing a bullet that was 9mm in diameter." ... supports the notion that the inception of what we refer to as 9mm was absurd. Yes, let's note the date. The current standard was published in April 1994 with Change 2 dated 20 December 1996, so your old, non-standard ammunition predates the current standard. This isn't unusual for the military supply system with stockpiles that go back decades to being used up, but even given the benefit of the doubt that's what it is, or that it may have been accepted by the military as a suitable substitute for the standard item, it doesn't change the standard. That's just not how it works. [/QUOTE]
