Is 9x21 IMI more powerful than 9x19 Luger? or weaker?
This Red 9 has a little bit issue. The hammer and lock frame were polished silver bright by someone. |

Technically, it is more powerful, as the case may be loaded to a greater capacity than standard 9MM. This again illustrates the inane logic of goverments worldwide. The citizens are prohibited from owning a "goverment" caliber, so lets approve a slightly stretched case for them to use.

Only 9x19mm has to be rebored, or everything has to be rebored, including 7.63x25mm ?

Then, collecting 7.63mm pistols in this context. No question. For its original bore and for it being a genuine Mauser caliber from "purist" point of view. Personally, I love 7.63mm Mauser over Red 9.
But for Luger, still need to go 9mm though. 9mm is mainstream in Luger. No way to bypass that. I mean, cannot only collect 7.65mm, that's not representative. |

Doug is correct, only calibers used by Army and Police get altered. Until not many years ago even .45ACP was banned and the guns rechambered .45HP so the actual chamber reduced to 21mm, the problem is that when you find a beautiful WWI 1911 you might discover that is chambered 45HP (happed to me just last saturday) I love the LUGER pistol, but C96 represents a bit of history too, couldn't tell which one I prefer.

First, I am always impressed by yourselve and friends knowledge and respect for all the firearm Beauties. I must confess the Walther family is one of my favorite. I think that somet under estimate their importance, prestige and shere beautiful! They probobly produced more different fine models than any one! We are especially privaleged to be able to hold them in our hand~~Lets not forget James Bond! http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/0...stol-A-History

Walter PPK is a smaller version of the Walter PP.
It's quite a cute little gun, widely used by German Police forces during WWII Adolf Hitler shot himself with his PPK 7.65mm in his Führerbunkern in 1945. I've seen some really nice ones recently, and not that expensive either, for instance the one enclosed Zella Mehlis costs about USD 1K Somehow I've never managed to be interested in them (so far), I tend to prefer bigger handguns like 1911, Lugers and SIGs Sergio

Quite an interesting clip, (only one remark I wonder why they were showing guns so improperly held); anyway I love the Beretta that sometimes I use at the range, but since 1990 I've already owned and widely used at least a dozen different GLOCKs, at the moment I own a G17 Gen4 and a G19 Gen4.
For practical shooting instead I prefer the CZ SP01 SHADOW. Sergio

Yeah. Cheap!! Back some days ago, a member posted an ad on a RZM PPK in the WTS column. I thought I would trade with a Mauser 1930 for it. But looks like the seller had no interest. Anyway, I need to find another nice one in future. The variation is scarce, but still showing up on regular basis. Not urgent.
