shoots low

Hi:

Don't laugh, but are you holding the pistol upside down when you are shooting it? Ha!

That said, Lugers usually shoot high at 25 yards! I have several Interarms Lugers from the 70s and they all shoot high. The best one can hope for is a 6 o'clock hold with a bullseye hit at 25 yards.

Yes, the Lugers were designed to shoot 124 grain bullets, but at this range, you shouldn't be able to note any "real" difference.

As to your question, try this... buy yourself some Remington 124 gr and some S&B 124 gr. Try these. If they work, you at least know where to go from here.

One final note, never buy a lot of ammo before you try it in the actual firearm you will be shooting. This, sometimes, leads to surprises!
