9mm Largo Ammo

9mm Largo ammo also known as 9×23mm Largo was developed for early 20th-century European military and service pistols. While it is often confused with 9mm Luger (9mm Parabellum), these cartridges are not interchangeable. Firearms chambered in 9mm Largo were engineered around different case dimensions, pressure levels, and bullet profiles than modern 9×19 designs.

Important: 9mm Largo is not 9mm Luger (9mm Parabellum). Always confirm your firearm’s chambering before use.

9mm Largo vs 9mm Luger: Why They Are NOT Interchangeable

Even though the names sound similar, 9mm Largo and 9mm Luger are different cartridges. The 9mm Largo has a longer case and was designed for older firearms with different pressure limits. Using the wrong cartridge can cause poor fit, feeding problems, or unsafe operation.

For safety and proper performance, only use the exact caliber marked on your firearm. Never substitute 9mm Luger for 9mm Largo, or vice versa.
