Which is more killingfull?
The 9 X 19 Parabellum round is more powerful than the 9 X 18 Makarov round. They are also different in bore size .365 for the Makarov and .356 for the Parabellum. The Makarov is more powerful than the .380 (9mm Kurz) and is available in the same size pistols. The only jacketed hollow point ammo that I know of for the Makarov is offered by Hornady.
