[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3752044, member: 15054"] My younger son finally bought his first gun. He had $100 academy gift card and got a S&W 9mm. He never had a 9 or shot one and I have never had any 9mm stuff. He does not reload either so you can call him a newbie to hand guns. He does have a 30-30 and a muzzloader but that is it. Anyway the paperwork went through all good there and he asked the guy at the counter what ammo do I need to get? The guy told him there is not really any difference all the 9's are about the same. I show up at his house yesterday and he shows me his new 9mm I remove the magazine and he said the chamber is empty. Magazine is full and I mean full and tight. I look in the chamber and nothing there except way way too much oil. This thing is dripping with oil it is on my hands now. I told him we need to take this apart and wipe it down with some paper towels. I mentioned this ammo in the magazine does not look like 9mm. I get one out and it is 9mm Makarov I asked him why did you buy that? He then told me the Academy sports story. He does not know. He knows now. And the 9mm Makarov will not plunk into the chamber either if anyone wished to know. It is too fat and went about 1/3 of the way in and stopped. He did get another box while he was there and it was 9x19 20 round box for a bit over 21 bucks. [/QUOTE]
