Norinco 9mm

After some additional reading I expect that the 1400fps story is probably based on the higher muzzle velocity of the SE (Sintered Iron) and mE (iron core) P08 rounds from the WW2 era. Because of their lighter bullet, combined with an unchanged powder charge, the SE especially developed a muzzle speed that exceeded the standard 320m/s (1049) quite a bit.

A test velocity given for the SE round was 395m/s which is some 1295 fps.
