Hi,

To reliably feed an 8 cartridge magazine, your OAL is much too short. Remembering that the original OAL for round nosed ammo, according to the original DWM specs., was 1.173 inches. For help on the OAL issue, please see my sticky on how to determine correct OAL when handloading a new type of bullet.

Too "hot" of ammo will "out run" the springs of a Luger. Some choose to replace the recoil spring with a stronger one to help mitigate this.

Frankly, if you handload your own 9X21 ammo, you should be able to find just the right load to properly operate your fine Luger pistol.
