Hi,

Don't worry about the ballistic efficiency of the old world 9mm round.
It's not a problem, lethal up until some 1200+ meters.

1966 VoPo manual (short barrel P08): Maximum range: 1500 meters.
1917 LP08 manual: At 800 meters a horse skull as well as a French helmet will be penetrated completely.

Wow!! I always thought that those elevated sights on the Artillery models and the Inglis Browning P-35s were optimistic! Learn something new everyday!
