mauser pistol from 1972 mint condition.

Standard power 9mm in 115gn or 124gn should work fine. Don't use ammo that is marked "NATO" power. It's loaded with too much powder.

Gerben (who is the author of books on the Mauser Parabellum) suggested you not shoot it because it is valuable as a mint collectable Mauser Parabellum Luger. His advice on the magazine is particularly important.

When you shoot it, be sure to use a firm and well supported grip. The Luger's action depends upon good support during the recoil impulse.

Cheers!
