The only dumb question is the one not asked, so here goes: What is the difference between 9mm Luger and 9mm NATO rounds? I have a friend who gave me a box of NATO because he said he couldn't shoot it out of his gun because it only took Luger. Any truth to this? I have a Ruger LC9 so I'm wondering if I can shoot both out of it. Upon side-by-side comparison there seems to be no difference to my untrained eye.
