been looking at dies for my 9mm & seen for the longest time the size was 9x19, & just recently been seeing 9x21 at both the retailers I deal with, Anyone know of any changes in this? will 9x21 work?. Thanks in advance

I don't know the specs for the 9X21 but it shouldn't be to hard to look up. I am fairly sure the 9X21 dies would work for the 9X19. I use the 9X19 dies for 38 special.

If I remember correctly the 9x21 originated to allow the same 9x19 platform in countries where military calibers cannot be owned by mere peons. Can't own a 9x19, but a 9x21 is ok...One of the reasons the .38 Super was always popular in Mexico, .45 ACP and 9x19 aren't legal.
