Hi Frederick,
My family and I lived in Waterloo and in Overijse for 4 years before moving here to the Netherlands.. I know what you mean re. waiting times for a handgun license, From what you have written here, our Dutch laws are similar. (If you like, see my post "Ownership of Firearms in the Netherlands" in "General Discussions."

Your gun looks like a great shooter.... I hope the bore is not heavily pitted....

I have also recently acquired my first Luger mainly to shoot it, but I have elected NOT to take it to the range (it's a very nice piece...) so now I'm looking for a shooter. My gunsmith friend, from whom I bought it (a 1917 DWM) and also a P38 ac43, advised me the following ammo for both the Luger and the Walther:

"Subsonic Luger 9 mm- 140 grain full metal jacket" costs about EUR 300 / 1000 rounds. He maintains that it is slower than the 115 gr, and assured me that the load is OK.
There's also a 154 gr version- this runs EUR 18 / 50 rounds. I'm going to check that with two other gunsmiths I have gotten to know, while I look around for a good shooter.

Let us know what happens??
You have a nice day...
