Thank You My Friend! I try to diversify to appeal to these different types on members. I always worry that I might run out of interesting topics. Every topic opens up 5 more! I refer to it as Luger Treasure Hunting~ Thank You My Hero! ~Eric

Eric

Don't worry your findings are alwas interesting, in fact later on I'll read about Gen Patton's quotes, and about the last gun of Gen. Custer. A friend of mine is a single action revolvers collector.

As far as the difference about 9mm and 9X21 IMI: they are not the same cartridge at all, and surely they've not the same size as 9x21IMI is 2mm longer, so it's slightly more powerful.

About the American Civil War: did you know that during the Civil War died more American soldiers than during all the other wars (WWI and WWII included)?
And did you know that among all the soldiers that fought in the Civil War at least 10,000 of them were Italians?
Apparently the vast majority of the fought for the North but was reported that at last a few hundred fought for the Confederates.

Have a nice day,

Thank You My Friend. In our civil war more on both sides died from infections and other illnesses than from a rifle. Amputations often became infected and soon died!
