German Officers Pistol

Tac, I would say shooting a 9MM in a .30 would be virtually impossible. One, the 9mm bullet will bottom out in the chamber far enough back to prevent the toggle from coming into battery. With the toggle in a fairly severe up position the fireing pin would be pulled back from the bolt face and in no position whatever to come forward to detonate a cartridge. If..and I think it would be impossible, a 9MM were to be detonated in the chamber in this unsupported position, it would rupture in the chamber. I just don't believe it's something that could be accomplished. The reason I am so positive is, I just tried it. Jerry Burney
