Hmmm 9x21 Udav

The 9x21 and the 356TS&W (9x21.5) were really popular in America during the 90s because, they allowed the 9mm sized guns to compete in the major power factor class where the 9x19 were restricted.
It is an old cartridge from around 1930 designed for the Europeans ( Italians I believe to be more accurate) to have a 9mm cartridge that was not a military cartridge. The same reason that the Mexicans had their 38 super. Gun laws in many countries prevent civilians from owing guns chambered for military cartridges.
The Russians resurrecting the 9x21 is not surprising but, I don’t think it is significant.
