It looks tiny. I was sure it was for a .32 acp or smaller

The rifle takes a sever battering when fired in 9×19. The one that I fired prior to mine had to have a buffer installed to prevent damage to the rifle. Next time out when I take the rifle I will test it with both types of ammo.

I have have looked at many sources for an answer to that. I have seen both cartridges given as the correct one but have yet to see something from a source that can be considered reliable (such as Beretta). I know that the models before that were 9mm Glisenti but I found an Italian source that claims that the 1918/30 was ‘redesigned’ to take the more powerful 9×19. Also, the one that I fired would not reliable function with light loads.

I would be interested in what you could add to this conflict of information.
