The 9mm Luger round (9×19) was designed by Georg Luger in 1902, prior to WWI, for the Luger pistol, not during WWII for use on the Russian Front as you said in your podcast.

Otherwise, I agree with your conclusions. Prior to the current generation of bullet technology, the FMJ round nose design suffered from over penetration. I started using it in the 90s with Federal’s HydraShok rounds and now carry Federal Premium HSTs. The lower price per round for practice ammo (over .45 or .40) sure helps, too.
Keep up the podcast and I’ll keep listening.
Thanks David. My time line was a little off. Sorry. I did think it was between the Great War and WWII that the 9 was designed. I stand corrected. I didn’t know that Luger presented it to the British and US, and then the Germans.
