9 X 19 mm ( aka 9 mm Luger and 9 mm Parabellum) made to NATO specification was design to be shot in pistols used by any of the NATO member countries. This includes the P1/P38, FN/Browning High Power and M9/92fs. While I would not shoot it from my collector grade Lugers or P38's, I have shot hundreds of rounds of it through a Russian captured P08 and surplus P1 without ill effect. In fact the P08 seems to prefer NATO spec ammo.

The application of the proper amount of high explosives can solve any problem.
War is an act of force and to the application of that force there is no limit! So say the philosophers (Carl von Clausewitz b 1780 d 1831) of war.
