Hello Jim, and welcome to the forum.

Congratulations on your very nice RC Luger. This one shows none of the defects refinished guns often bear (it still has very sharp edges). I can't really tell from the photos. Are you sure it's been refinished. Later 1937 Mauser Lugers were salt blued (without strawed parts)... If it was redone, it looks like a quick dip and right out of the tank.

No need to replace the magazine. The one you have looks like a FXO or East German milled magazine Haenel Schmeisser. They are very well made.

Use standard velocity 9mm Luger ammo, and let us know how it shoots!
