To satisfy Ron's other 2%, take a No 2 pencil, eraser end first, and push it gently into the muzzle and see how far it goes in...Just to the metal means 30 cal Luger; all the way in means 9mm...

Some of us prefer the 30 cal; if you look in the For Sale sub-forum here you'll see a couple places that sell the 30 cal ammunition [Fiocchi]...

But if your plan is to shoot 50 or 100 rds a week, you're best off selling it and getting a 9mm...Cheaper/easier to find ammunition...

Pics are needed...How long is the barrel (from bolt face to muzzle)??? Is there a grip safety??? What's the magazine look like??? Did anyone mention pictures???
