What Happens If You Accidentely Switch Ammo?

Either it will go bang if it gets held by the extractor. And it wiil be poultry snatcher's scenario. Or, it will go all the way in untill the bottleneck shoulder hits the end of the chamber and nothing will happen cause the striker won't reach the primer.

The 9mm marking on the magazine bottom serves another purpose. It will avoid to inadvertly put a 9 mm loaded magazine in a .30 Luger chambered pistol. Those rounds will not chamber, and you will be either embaressed or defensless depending on the situation.

We used both as service pistols. First in different branches (Army and Navy), and after 1942 in all services except the Air Force.
