Dave,

You will have to be a little more specific than Sin City for a local gunsmith recommendation... I have heard that label applied to more than one town.

The smeared copper on your feed ramp should not be too much of a problem. Try cleaning that area with 0000 steel wool and then lubing it and see if that helps.

Fiocchi ammo is to the best of my recollection, not generally good ammo for Lugers... I think I recall that it is underpowered compared to say, Winchester. Try the Winchester brand bulk (100) pack for about $11.00 from Wal-Mart and see if your reliability improves... many on the forum reportedly use this ammo with good results.
