Why no modern 9x25 Mauser Type Cartridge for Auto's?

[Rock185]

I don't know, lack of interest or need? On a custom basis, just about anything a customer is willing to pay for might be accomplished. But I doubt an entity manufacturing a modern firearm for the 9mm Mauser would see financial success. Perhaps a popular style firearm, say a Glock or 1911, chambered in the Mauser cartridge might have sales equivalent to something like the 9X25 Dillon or 9X23 Winchester. I don't think it would be as popular as 38 Super, which is not exactly a sales leader. The 9X23 and .38 Super can both be loaded to 1450-1500 FPS with a 125 grain bullet. So perhaps close enough to 9X25 Mauser ballistics for all practical purposes?

Wiki says 9x25 Mauser 124 gr at 1325 fps.
Yawn.
USPSA Open shooters are overloading 9mm P faster than that.

It is still listed by CIP with a maximum average chamber pressure of 2600 bar, 37700 psi.
If CIP specifies bullet weight and velocity, I can't find it.

A proprietary round of a European manufacturer developed in 1904 that saw little usage at the time. So little interest today.

But what if the German Navy had adopted the 9mm Mauser instead of the 9mm Luger?
(Before airplanes, the navy was the high-tech service. Ships are large complicated machines and the attitude apparently reached down to small arms.)
