Erma KGP 69 (.22 LR Luger imitation)

Hello everyone,

I just recently purchased (but have not yet picked up) an Erma KGP 69. It was a moment of weakness and it was in good condition. Only one magazine but it is original to the pistol and I've been looking up information on it. I know the Erma .22 pistols are not generally well-regarded but I had read elsewhere the KGP models are somewhat better quality and are more reliable.

My question is more of ammunition, I've seen some that suggest high velocity (CCI Mini Mags, rounded lead) and others which suggest not using any high velocity and to go with standard velocity like perhaps CCI or Federal bulk pack ammunition. Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried to search but did not find much information here on ammunition recommendations.

Best,

Michael
