Lugers, were never meant to chamber anything over 8mm.

Michael..If this can be substantiated or not I cannot say.. but I must respectfully disagree with this in fact.

The Luger pistol works wonderfully in 9MM. I have my beater 1916 Luger I use for a fitting pistol on my leather bench. Anytime someone comes to my leather shop and we get to talking Lugers it is the first pistol I show them and always ask..want to shoot a Luger? Just yesterday my 2 nieces..16 & 17 years old wanted to. Over 500 rounds without a stoppage in the hands of anyone who picks it up..Winchester White box and my re loads.

I guess then we have to discuss what the deffinition of "meant" means? Cause meant to or not.. my old warhorse swallows em whole..no problem.
