I thought of trying Wolff's 10% heavier mag springs, but they won't be any good for a short-stroking canon assembly. I could go to 40# springs and NATO spec ammo, but that would be dead wrong. My favorite Luger operation theory, as confirmed by my experience with Artillery models, especially with the board stock attached, is that 9mm Para requires more inertia in the canon than is contributed by a standard profile 4" tube. Pretty much everyone who shoots these guns competitively in Old Europe, uses a heavier barrel. I look forward to trying a 6" Werle-built piece that I have coming in from Germany.
