I went to the gunshow here in Portland, Oregon and as usual there was very little for a Luger person. One dealer was there who always has several very high priced ones but other than that, all that I saw was two other Lugers.

There wasn't even any Mauser 7.63 pistol ammo but since I started loading it myself I was not too upset at that. I did have one ammo dealer tell me that the newer Tokarev ammo is safe in my broomhandle but I am not willing to risk myself or the gun to find out!

I settled for some reloading parts and a box of Sellier & Bellot ammo to try in my stainless steel gun. I am having a hard time finding commercial ammo that will cycle the action and am working up a reload that will work. So far I only get the action to work about 75% of the time so I will add another 0.1gr of powder and try again!
