Default Modern Ammo

I obtained a P08 (1918 ERFURT) from a family member sometime back and I was thinking of taking it to the range for some shooting. I have field stripped it and inspected it closely with magnification and everything looks good to me including the bore which looks real good after several strokes of a brass bristle and solvent patches. I know without seeing the gun personally it may be hard to evaluate the guns range worthiness so if some would care to give me their opinion and or their own personal experience based on the following assumptions being true I would apreciate it.

Assumptions:

All parts have matching numbers and are slightly to moderately worn.
Gun is clean and properly lubricated.
Gun is properly assembled.

My concern/question is this. Are these guns which apparently were manufactured in 1918 able to handle modern factory 9mm hardball ammo?
