The 9×18mm Ultra is a German pistol cartridge.[1]
Description
It was originally developed in the 1936 for use by the Luftwaffe, but was not adopted at that time.[1] In the 1972-1973 time frame, Walther introduced the Walther PP Super chambered in the cartridge for the West German Police.[1] The Walther PP Super was discontinued in 1979.[2] The cartridge was made available to the civilian market in 1975.[1]
In addition to the Walther PP Super, the SIG Sauer P230,[1] Mauser HSc-80,[3] and Benelli B76[1] were also produced in 9×18mm Ultra.
The 9×18mm Ultra is not interchangeable with the 9×18mm Makarov, as the latter uses a larger diameter bullet.
