9mm Largo

    This is the only "oddball " cartridge that I have. I shoot it in a Star Super (A, I think). I know this is basically a Spanish caliber. I have a few questions. First does anyone else out there shoot this cal on a regular basis and if yes could you tell me your comments good and bad? and second, Can I shoot the modern 9X23 ammo in it safely? The gun is in good shape but according to the ballistics it looks like a 300fps jump. To say the least that concerns me a little.

    The modern 9x23 is actually 9x23.5. It was done that way so it wouldn't be used in the older guns, but the older guns usually have enough wear that they'll close on them anyway. It is not recommended to use the new Winchester 9x23 in guns chambered for the old 9x23 Largo.

    I thought so. Thanks Irarmsx. I am not one of these hot rod shooters. And I didn't want spectacular velocities and then schrapnel fragments in my hands and face.

    Roy, if you search under Collectible ammo here and the other main Auction site for Arms, you will see boxes of this caliber offered on a fairly regular basis, both Spanish & German manufacture, typically about $30/ box of 50.
