Ammo sharing Magazines
 
Might sound like a strange question but on looking at the buying a new magazine can the 7.65.mm and 9mm share the same mag.?

interchangable
 
Yes. I know from personal experience. Mike

Ya,that probably didn’t turn out well if your Luger was a 7.65 ,
The way the bolt slams forward would probably jam a 9mm in the bore really good..lol
Had noticed the mec Gar mags I saw advertised showed as 7.65/9mm soooo I assumed!

Absolutely the same mag will work for either caliber.

Hollow point rounds do not work well in a luger, some will, most won't.

All magazines are not "tuned" properly either, a tweak of the feed lips may be needed in an old, dropped, or not so well formed magazine to feed; also a weak spring will cause problems.

Mec-gar mags are usually fine right out of the package, out of a couple dozen I have bought and used in various lugers, only one gave any sign of a feeding problem; though I did have a couple that would not securely latch the hold open after the last shot.


If your comment refers to trying to chamber a 9mm round in a 7,65mm chamber, then it violates one of the basic rules of gun handling-
