I've found PMC ammo to be great. Also, I tried some Wolf ammo, both FMJ and hollowpoint. Both work fine in my S&W, but my Luger only functions OK with the FMJ--the hollowpoints don't feed well. I quit buying Wolf ammo (and any other Russian stuff) when somebody reported overpressure (and maybe a blowup) with Russian ammo on the old forum back in about May. I am now buying only the Walmart Winchester FMJ ammo that sells for $10.95 for 100 and shoots great in both my 9mms.

I have found that I must clean the Luger after about 60-70 rounds for 100% reliability. It doesn't take a really serious effort, I just need to field strip, clean out powder residue from the toggle and canon, relube and reassemble.
