Bob, is M882 Nato loaded ammo? If so, IMHO it is too strong for a luger.

Something more mid-ranged like Winchester white box is what I like to use...

Roger that. I'll try some Atlanta Arms 115 grain ball then. It's pretty mild. Thanks for the heads-up; I always thought Lugers were tolerant of warm ammo.

Lots and lots of folks will tell you that - I have found that mine like it mid-range and are picky - i.e. they need proper OAL (length) and a good round FMJ

The pictures appear to show the receiver slightly recessed. I think this indicates that the frame is an older long frame.
