9mm Luger Trajectory Calculator

The 9mm Luger is the world's most popular defensive handgun cartridge. With a 124-grain bullet at 1,090 fps and a 25-yard zero, expect about 1.5 inches of drop at 50 yards, 5.1 inches at 75 yards, and 10.9 inches at 100 yards. The round delivers 327 ft-lbs at the muzzle and retains 252 ft-lbs at 100 yards—more than adequate for defensive use at any practical pistol distance.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The 9mm spans 115-grain target loads to 147-grain subsonic rounds, each with different trajectories. You can also factor in wind and atmospheric conditions for competition shooting.
