Dear Lugerdoc:
In all of the original German texts I have read, including the owners manual for the Interarms Parabellum models, you are to "fill the magazine with 8 rounds", not 7.
Im curious. Would you please site me an original source for your 7 round figure.
It's true that when loaded with 8 rounds of proper length ammo, the magazine is full, without much slack remaining.
The only magazine I am aware of originally designed for 7 rounds was the Stoeger/Aimco stainless model. When I contacted them regarding this, they claimed that 7 round magazines feed better. Strangely, I've read on these pages countless complaints about their pistols jamming constantly.
