I have a German DWM "Alpahbet Commercial" in 7.65mm with pretty much the same cycling problem that you experienced with the Fiocchi ammunition.

Some have suggested that a weaker mainspring (Wolff sells one.) might solve the problem, but I have not attempted the changeover yet.

Thanks, nice to know it's not necessarily a problem with my gun but the ammo.

Changing the spring is a horrible ordeal, I've once helped a smith to change one.
Took four hands and all his strength. And he was something of an expert on Parabellums so it wasn't like he was doing it for the first time. Mind you, it was an "extra power" 9mm spring so pretty stiff...

I'm not going to shoot this pistol much, maybe 50 rounds once a year if that.
So it's less of a hassle just to load ammo that works
