Old Stovepipe

Hi Greg,
I had a similar problem with stovepiping with my 1938 s/42 and with help of the folks here I found switching my ammo to Winchester White Box fixed the problem for me. However, recently my niece's husband sent me a February 2020 copy of "WWII History" and there's a great article under Ordnance called "History's Most Famous Pistol" about the history of the Luger you might find interesting. In it it mentions the Luger works well with cartridges of higher pressure.
