Since the standard Swedish military pistol (the Husqvarna m\/07) was chambered for the 9x20mm Browning Long cartridge, they got a version of the Suomi chambered for that round.

This was a more powerful and more modern cartridge than the 9&#215;20, and so the followup licensing of Suomis reverted to 9mm Parabellum as well, with the designation M-37\/39. While the basic mechanism of these is identical to the Finnish Suomi, they differ in some details, including barrel length, charging handle contour, and stock profile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons When the Swedish military decided that 1937 seemed like a pretty good time to be getting some new submachine guns, they arranged to purchase a version of the m\/31 Suomi from their Finnish neighbors &#8211; which they called the M-37.
