I believe it was Frank who mentioned the European designation 9x18 for the Makarov. The Europeans have a tendancy to specify their ammo by the dimension. Well the specs for 9mm Luger (or Parabellum) is 9x19. So should you come across this spec regarding 9mm ammo, it would also designate ammo that is correct for your Luger.
