My '38 Mauser shooter has a finicky hold-open that only works reliably with one magazine that has a stronger spring installed by G.T. Using just my thumb, it's painful to load rounds 5 through 8. This tool makes my range life much easier.
In general, Luger magazine springs seem noticiably stronger than those used in other pistols from that time. My guess is the springs are stronger because they need to be to insure reliable feeding, due to the steeper angle of the Luger grip vs. its contemporaries. |
I use those for my 41 smith mags and they work wonderfully ! I guess I never thought of looking to see if they made one that fit a luger mag , I may give those a try , thank you sir.
