I shot the Luger 908 first time today and the following observations and experiences.
1. Store bought Winchester ammo and my reloads are tough to fit more than one round in the magazine. Is this normal? It seems you must load the rounds at a severe angle to fit more than the first into the magazine. Is this normal?
2. Shot fine with one round in magazine.
3. Loaded what I thought, was new MEC-GAR magazine and had a catastrophic magazine failure after about 3 rounds. The bottom of the magazine blew off. All I had left was a spring and shell of magazine, (See Attached pictures).
Have you ever had this type of failure? I have not. Could it be the pistol did not fully go to battery and still fire? This might have caused the extreme pressure to blow out the plastic magazine bottom, either that or magazine was faulty. Let me know your thoughts.
