is this Luger taking too much battering?

Hi:

Your frame looks just fine to me.

If your load is barely strong enough to work the action, you are certainly not overloaded.

My favorite light load (which is highly accurate) is 3.7 grs of Bulls Eye with a 124 gr FMJ bullet.

Search my name and you will find several entries on highly accurate and reliable 9mm loads, all of which provide match grade accuracy and are easy on your Luger.

Also, you would do much better with medium-slow powders such as Power Pistol or IMR SR 4756.

Your lead bullets should not be leading your barrel. What type of lube are you using on them?

Enjoy shooting your Luger!!!
