Welcome to the Forum. Get hold of Luger Doc, also a Forum member. He carries magazines, and at a very fair price. After you have loaded a couple of magazines by hand, you will welcome having the loading tool. You can find them on e-bay, it dosen't have to be an original. I bought two!

I originally tried and succeded in getting eight rounds in the magazine. Had all kinds of problems with jamming and stove piping. Save yourself a lot of grief and start with five or six.

I have had and continue to have success with brass casings and 115g Full Metal Jacket. Some will say that you should use 124g. I have also used steel casings and they worked O.K. Here again, 115g workes great for me.

Check out your local Walmart, they usually carry 9mm ammo. Maybe buy a box of 115g and 124g and see which you like best. Some swear by the Winchester white box ammo. It's your gun, have fun with it.

Finally, keep watching this Forum. There is a huge amount of knowledge and know how avaliable here..
