Gunsmith in Dallas-Fort Worth Tx area?

Clarification: This is a Commercial DWM 30 cal.....purchased to shoot instead of causing more wear on my WWI Erfurt 9mm.

Yes....Fiochi was all that was available when I bought the ammo. I am out of town, but I'm pretty sure it is FMJ. I have a spring kit and am going to attempt to replace the recoil spring this weekend. My Erfurt has noticeably more "snap" to the toggle than this DWM.

The replacement unit from my spring kit is substantially longer than the original. Is this acceptable?

That is 100% normal. The new recoil spring has not taken a "set" as yet. Once it is installed and used for a bit, the overall length will be reduced.....No problem.
