Well I got the 1900 “No Matching Parts” Luger out and shot it for the first time this year. I had opened up the mag well a bit and now had several magazines that would fit in this gun. The weather was perfect. The gun worked pretty well, the magazine for my 29/70 Mauser Luger often required I give the toggle a slap to get it to close. My groups were only fair, all on the paper at 25 yards. I had not done any shooting since mid November, and this was only the third time I had shot this pistol. I fired Finnochi “Legend’ ammo PPU ammo, and 10 rounds of handloaed ammo using a 78 gr coated lead bullet meant for 32 S&W short. I also use this bullet for 7.65 French Long in my 1935A pistol and an H&R break top 32 S&W. A few of the handloads had to be tapped closed, otherwise they shot like the other ammo.
Also fired that day, my 29/70 Swiss style Mauser Luger w/6 inch barrel in 9mm and a MKVI Webley converted to use downloaded .45 ACP with half moon clips.
