Sieger..I don't need your leave to feel free to go about my business thank you. The facts are, there are many Luger shooters that don't handload. Another is that commercial made 9MM ammunition is perfectly acceptable and much of it works with no problems in most Lugers.
Thirdly I have about as much Luger gunsmithing experience as most and I have busted apart 3 different Lugers that were complete rustballs, wheel wire brushed them down to the white, trimmed off ends of rusted springs, put them together and they shoot perfectly.
I think the Luger and it's springs can be very resiliant. To start with handloading and changing out springs to solve simple problems is beyond what most casual shooters need or want to attempt. Personally I have fired untold rounds through all kinds of lugers for decades and have NEVER found it necessary to change ANY spring! OH! Wait it just came to me the one time I changed a spring..I had a Luger with a GREAT smooth trigger pull and I got to wondering about it..I took out the trigger and someone had put in a ball point pen spring!
There are many fixes to many problems on Luger's and I think it's bad advice to state that a Luger will not shoot properly without handloading cause I know better.
