Hi Darell,

The German WWII 123/124 grain lead cored 9 m/m Luger ammunition had a muzzle velocity of about 1140 fps. Later in the war different bullets were used (iron cored, sintered steel, etc.) as critical materials ran short, and these lighter bullets had higher muzzle velocities.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Kyrie
