My "new" Luger 08 from 1940

That should be a good shooter for you. You will want to field strip it for cleaning, inspection, and lube. I would not use any ammo with a heavier bullet weight than 124gr, others may disagree. Enjoy it, and let us know how things work out for you.




Edit: I just read your latest post, and would assume that the gunsmith inspected, cleaned and lubed your Luger. You should be good to go.

Hello rhuff,

That confirms (again) my suspicion concerning the ammo.
Also considering what I found concerning the original spec for ammo (about 124 gr and 330m/s).
If these values are correct, than the Magtech is a little bit faster (I think about 340m/s). But of cause the powder is most likely quicker today.
Problem is I am not allowed to reload (by law, or I would have to take special trainings) and I am honestly speaking also not really interested in doing it, so I have to stick to what I can buy.

Best regards,
Martin
