As an added note. I do not recommend you fire P+P ammunition in your gun, as you mentioned was done in Germany before you received it. There is a myth, which never seems to go away, that Lugers require "Hot" ammo.

Your gun is a WW1 pistol made by the manufacturer who turned out the poorest quality of all the Luger makers. The metallurgy available then was not what it later became in WW2 Lugers. Fire the ballistic equivalent of "Winchester White Box" ammunition, (I know our European members will offer a locally available equivalent) and never fire +P, much less P+P ammo in your gun.
