The 9 mm Browning Long is a semi-rimmed straight taper case, brass, Berdan primed. Developed by Fabrique National for the Browning M1903 automatic pistol. This cartridge was intended to be as powerful as possible, consistent with operating in a weapon with unlocked breech.

The standard military bullet is lead-cored, steel-jacketed and with an ogival head shape, weighing 7.25 g. Although quite widely adopted in the 1920s for both military and police tasks, it was supplanted by the 9 mm Parabellum, since the Browning Long was an unconvincing combat round. It fell into obsolescence but was revived by the Swedish armed forces in the late 1980s when, due to problems with the 9 mm Lahti pistols, the Browning M1903 was reinstated as the service pistol. Compatible platforms include browning M1903 pistol; Astra, Le Francais, Star, Webley pistols chambered for this calibre; Bergmann M28 and Suomi M1937 sub-machine guns.
