During the latter half of the 20th Century it was a standard military pistol cartridge of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc. The 9×18mm Makarov round was designed by B.V. Semin in 1946, and was intended to be a relatively powerful round with modest bolt thrust that could function safely in a simple or direct blowback pistol. 9x18 caliber has become a popular caliber in the US commercial market because of the large number of military surplus pistols imported for sale to the American consumer and firearms collectors. Common pistols in this caliber are the Polish P-64, Czech CZ-82, Hungarian PA-63 and various Makarov designs. Ammo is widely available and is imported from Russia, Serbia and the Czech republic, as well as premium hollow point 9x18 ammunition that is manufactured here in the USA by Hornady.
