nine

Not the definition of the "girth" of the barrel, but rather it's bore - the width of the hole that goes through the barrel. Also, not coincidentally, the diameter of the bullet - 9mm.

Refers to a pistol, usually a semi-automatic, ostensibly a 9mm.

Aside: The U.S. Army's standard pistol is a 9mm semi-automatic.

The nine

A low income slang reference to a semi-automatic pistol chambered in nine millimeter bullets capable of pricing level 2 armor. The slang originates in low-income neighborhoods or ghettos around the US in cities such as Edina, Chicago, New York, Worchester and others. It is called this because there is often violence within these neighborhoods especially gun violence with the most common weapon being the nine millimeter semi-automatic pistol.
