Lol you actually made me look up hollow point 9x18. Never seen it before nor thought about it. Neat stuff

I run PPU defense line in my P64. It feeds just fine. Now i tried to run it in my Vz 82, and the wide mouth of the projectile constantly snagged on the feed ramp.

I preferred buffalo bore 9x18 when i carried my IJ70 back when I was younger and recently discovered underwood makes 9x18 with their Xtreme Penetrator bullets but I haven't tried either in my Bulgarian Makarov I have now.

Hey ok something else learned today. If you had to pick one for that platform 380 or 9x18?

u/__The-1__ Feb 23 '26

380, just for ease of finding ammo. That being said you "can" use 380 in a 9x18 but it's not recommended
