I have read in many posts (and in this one) about how sensitive, finicky, etc. Parabellums are in shooting sessions. I can't "compare", because I don't have a "collection". All I have is one. 1918 Erfurt (all matching, all original, with original holster Jerry did his magic on).

I am ashamed to admit that I shoot it occasionally. With ball ammo of normal variety. The ONLY ammo it refuses, is steel cased Russian stuff. ANY other brass cased, factory ball 115gr, it digests without any complaints. Never a misfeed, never ANY stoppages. VERY accurate too. It became my constant companion in hiking/horseback riding on my property. I carry it in the US M3 shoulder holster (under the jacket), to protect it from branches, horse tack, etc.

Magazine is aluminum bottomed WW2 variety, but I also have original Erfurt with wooden bottom (which I don't use).

I keep it clean/lubed, and it keeps ticking.
