Underwood 9x18 Ammo Is In The Works

I'm not happy with the current SD 9x18 ammo out there so here was my email to Underwood:

Sir/Ma'am,

I'm writing to request that you make a SD cartridge for the 9x18 round. The
JHP rounds on the market (basically Hornday and Buffalo
Bore) are either not impressive (Hornady) or overpriced (BB) and you could
really fill a void in the market! Just my $.02.


Their response:

9x18 is already in the works, actually.
We've got our brass on order but I haven't been given a ship date yet.

Thanks!
Kevin

I know a lot of you are also looking for another SD 9x18 Mak choice so I'm just passing this along FYI...
 
I am getting my Chronograph out this weekend to check out my shipment of Underwood +P .380, .40 and .45 colt. I will post the results.

As far as 9x18, I carried the Wolf Black box 100gr FMJ load in my Russian mak, back in the days before BB and Hornady. I never felt under gunned carrying it. Today it has become impossible to find that loading:(
 
the BB is overpriced yes, but how much of it do you really need? I got 2 boxes of 2 and used one for testing and keep the other for SD use.

Also, I previously have used the hornady critical defense and though it was a fine load... just like the added power of the BB.

P.s. for p64 use if you havent already got the wolf extra power recoil spring I highly reccomend it. Specially for +p loads.
 
I have a CZ 82 I plan on running it in. I'll post some chrono results when/if they produce it and I get my grubby little paws on it :D
