Enjoy it, you will find the .30 to be a very, very fun cartridge to shoot. I Like the .30 better in these.

I'm afraid not and I picked it up from a pawn shop which didn't really know either. I've fired it a few times and the magazine it came with (aluminium bottom) was very finicky so a Triple K magazine solved my feeding problems. I'm supposed to take a lady friend shooting so I figured that I'd get this ready to impress her. She can handle one of my sleek Lugers whilst I take up my trusty though slightly dowdy Webley Mk. VI.

I don't think it's a reblue (no super rounded edges) and the finish is very nice. The .30 Luger round is pretty nice, I have to say, and a local shop sells the Fiocchi stuff at $26 a box of 50. They had something like a dozen boxes in and exclaimed I'm the first person in a few years to have bought any. I also bought some of their .455 Webley and .30 Mauser (one wonders why they have over 10 boxes of all 3).
