  1. For this reason, in 1930s Germany the experimental cartridge 9x 18 , called 9mm Ultra was developed, but not used. After wwll West German Police forces had been equiped mostly with pistols in 7,65 Browning/.32 Acp. But in late 1960s crime rose/ raised and also communist terrorists appeared. A stronger cartridge was necessary, but especially the more left politicians didn't want , military ' 9mm Parabellum, so for a short time this 9mm Ultra appeared as 9mm Police again in Germany, but not all policemen had been equiped with PP- Super pistol, pistols in 9mm Parabellum replaced 7,65 Browning pistols. Few SIG pistols had been produced in 9mm Police for Swiss police. Also Austrian police, and perhaps also Dutch police tested weapons in this cartridge.
