So I've recently bought my first luger, and I intend to shoot it. But I've been lurking around the forums for a bit and noticed there seems to be a debate going on about what type of ammo is and isn't safe to operate on.

I'm totally ignorant but my understanding of the debate is that

On the one hand the original luger round is a little hot, and it requires a stronger load to cycle consistently without jamming.

The other position (as I understand it) is these guns are pushing 100 years old and you should not use a +p load because if something breaks on it, you won't be fixing it.

I have zero intention of hand loading anything., and am just looking for a good offshelf brand I can buy that will be safe and reliable to operate.
