So my fist question that is so obvious it must not even be discussed,
but I need to know, does the 9mm & .30 Lugers take the same
clip? I always assumed no but I just realized that the widest part of the cartridge might be the same dimension, with the round and end tapering off smaller on the .30

I guess my formal introduction will be that after looking at 1st handguns at my store in Lyons, IL, the sales guys were trying to fit my big hands with something in the $500 range, throwing gorgeous Beretta's, Taurus and other hi-tech composites, lasers etc etc. at me.

By the time I got to the last case of pre-owned, saw a Dirty Harry 29, a few others and then my heart fluttered when I saw the Luger!
After sitting in my hand I was truly amazed at how this smaller pistol could be so ergonomically perfect to my hands, the weight, balance and appearance made me fall in love instantly and he was shocked when I said I'll throw down.

We looked up in the book and determined it to be a 1920 DWM Commercial 7.65, all matching except the mag which was a WWII Alum button. Probably reblued but long ago since it has developed such a nice patina to it. Also the only smooth walnut grips I've ever seen.

After the 3 day period I picked it up, along with a box of Fiocchi, and took my free first range time. Popped off about 40 with only 1 jam and will go back with my dad this week for some more.

But, I'd like to get a 2nd clip just to have, but if I'm limited to a .30 -specific then it's going to be hard to find on auctions.

Unless you have a company that makes them new?
And good quality?

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions in advance.
BTW, I got this for $450, and yes I plan on shooting a box a month because it's so much fun and a helluva conversation piece.....
