Derek, did you cut the mainspring to 17 coils or replace it?

My gunsmith recommended 115 grain Winchester White Box so that is what I used. Then I tried NATO 124 grain, which is +p+ and much more powerful. I do not have another Luger to try my magazines, nor do I have another upper.

The gun is driving me nuts. It worked better, although not perfectly, before I had it tuned. Now it is very accurate and a pleaseure to shoot, but only one shot at a time. The gunsmith replaced the recoil spring, so maybe that is the problem.
