Remember Lugers that are 80 years old and have the original spring still in them MAY have had thousands of rounds through them and the spring tends to weaken over time. With a weak recoil spring and lots of loading/pressure cycels under their belt, the last thing you want to is stoke them with a really hot round just because you read they were designed for a hot round. The original spring did wonders fro absorbing the recoil energy. With the spring in a weakened state that ability is compromised and the frame/and other stops much take it all. NOT GOOD! Ted
