Georg Luger: The Forgotten History of the Man Who Designed the Luger Pistol and 9mm Ammo

This weekend marked the 173rd anniversary of the birthday of the designer of the iconic Luger pistol, Georg Luger.

After the American revolver, there is simply no other handgun in the world that is as easily recognizable as the Luger pistol. The Pistole Parabellum is it’s official name, but to virtually anyone, the weapon is simply the “Luger.” Georg Luger designed this iconic weapon, as well as the ammunition with which the Luger is loaded – the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge.
