The case is a rebated rimless pattern in which the extraction rim is smaller than the head of the case; in effect, a 9 mm case with the body expanded to suit the 0.41 bullet.

The larger bullet and charge produce a significant increase in energy. A number of loads have been developed, but the only one suitable for military purposes uses a 13 g full metal jacketed bullet. This was developed by Evan Whildin of Action Arms in 1986, as a method of upgrading 9 mm automatic pistols with the minimum amount of rebuilding. It was initially produced for the Action Arms AT-88 pistol, an upgraded copy of the CZ-75 semi-automatic pistol. A significant feature is that the dimensions of the base and extraction rim are identical to the 9 × 19 mm Parabellum cartridge, so the dimensions of the weapon's breech face remain unchanged. All that is required is to change the weapon's barrel and magazine, replace the recoil springs and recalibrate the sights. The first commercial production of this cartridge was undertaken by Israel Military Industries ( IMI ). Applications include suitably chambered automatic pistols, namely SIG, Beretta, Sphinx and so on.
