This article gives quick summaries on popular ammunition types, including 9mm Luger (9x19mm), 9.357 Magnum (.40 SW),.45 ACP and.223 Rem. The 9mm Luger is the author’s favorite pistol round. A 9mm was my first gun. They are fun to shoot at the range. They are good for defense. It is the standard round used by NATO countries and most police forces worldwide. It is light shooting and can range in weight from 115-147 grains. The bullet’s stopping power will vary depending on the type of bullet. The Pew-Pew Tactical Guide to Cartridge Types also provides an explanation of cartridge ignition, both rimfire and centerfire. “The rimfire’s primer can be found in the rim, while the centerfire cartridge has it in the middle. Pro tip: If you can see a circular in the middle, it’s a centerfire cart. There are two types of centerfire primers: Berdan and Boxer. This Wikipedia illustration shows how Boxer and Berdan primers ignite powder in cartridges.
