Take down lever (which way?)

I think you probably want the strongest possible spring that still allows the hold open to work properly. Too soft of a spring would allow the toggle to hit the back of the frame. Not a good thing. Also, once you find ammo that works, don't switch brands.
If you think about it. It is no wonder the Germans lost the war....
Not really true though. They made like a million P38's to replace the Luger. A way superior pistol and more dependable.
I like them both. But the Luger is my favorite. But I wouldn't want my life to depend on it.

If my memory serves(that is always questionable), Brownell sells a tool that can measure the poundage of recoil/and ? other springs. Then you can compare your findings against what is correct for the gun.
