I may get a substitute for the numbered hold open, but since the pistol has parts from 3 pistols and a repro side plate, little will be lost if it breaks. Now a matching pistol would be quite different.

Well, if you really want the hold open to operate you should follow John Sabato's advices to improve function instead of trying hotter loads.
I know for a fact that Lugers aren't made of glass but there's no reason to tempt the devil.
