kurusu,
thanks for your post. I never said I would try hotter loads.
I fired mixed rounds of standard factory ammo, "hp" means hollow point vs "FMJ" = ball. May try 124g instead of 115g bullets too.

I have investigated Wolf Gunsprings main springs and they offer them in three "strengths" 2lbs rating apart, I may dis-remember, but IIRC they are 42, 44, 46 lb springs.

They are so easy to change I may just try them.

I've been an on and off gunsmith for 50 years, I have seen 2 kinds of lugers, those that work and
those that don't want too!

More later when I get time to shoot again!
