I wonder if gradual homogenization of EU gun regs will render the 9×21 an even smaller niche cartridge than it is today. I think it’s only relevant in Italy and Spain, right?
I saw a show a few years back on History Channel (I think) that compared rivals. There was a T-Rex V Triceratops, and other shit, but I remember tha AK vs AR, and they had an Ultra Mo video of a viced AR and AK firing one over the other. The fdifference was staggering.
Except for the brass, bolt, and flash, you coudln’t tell the AR was firing. The AK, on the other hand, looked like an out of balance washing machine. The barrel was bending too and fro and the whole thing was bouncing around in its vice.
It was easy to see the cause of the differences in accuracy.

Can you shoot a 9×19 in a 9×21 revolver? I know 9×19 has a slight taper, will that not allow it in the cylinder?

Wow, and people wonder why AK’s can’t be made to be particularly accurate without spending a ton of money?

9×21 is popular in Italy because 9×19 is a military cartridge therefore not able to be possessed by civilians in Italy.
