Luger Gunmith Recommendation?

I've noticed that the 9mm has a "better" trigger pull with some ammo. I attributed that to the OAL of the round and bullet profile. 115 FMJ always seemed to work pretty well. When I tried some other profiles - heavier FMJ or various TC bullets, my impression was that the toggle was not locking completely. Some rounds would not fire at all - toggle was out of battery. Some - perhaps with toggle slightly out of battery - would fire, but with very stiff trigger pull.

I had an epiphany after reading a comment by a Luger Forum member - no one would willingly take an old Luger into a gunfight. So messing around with "more lethal" bullets had little point. I stick to 115 or 124 FMJ now.

Still the 9mm doesn't have the trigger pull that the .30 has. I guess the analogy would be an old, GI .45 1911 isn't going to be the same as a civilian version of the same pistol.

You are probably right - not worth putting an expensive rust blue on the .30; I got it to shoot, not to show off.

Thanks,
Comanche
