.30 or 9mm

I agree with Marc, a good Swiss W+F 1906/29 surely won't be difficult to find at a reasonable price.

The recoil impulse of the 7.65 P(30 Luger)is less than the 9mm cartridge due to a lighter bullet and a lower powder charge. I, personally, really enjoy shooting the 30 Luger round, and they hold accurate out for quite some distance. I think any Luger shooter should have at least one 30 Luger gun just because......to be complete. The 7.65P brass is not an overly difficult item to reload.
