sub-sonic 9mm ammo

A while back one of you gentlemen suggested that if I choose to shoot my 1914 DWM, I should use a sub-sonic round as this would be closer to the ammo the pistol was designed for. (I would put on a new set of grips in any event per your previous advice ) I have had conflicting advice about this. Several have told me to use the standard modern 9mm FMJ as this is required to work the toggle action properly. However one person who told me to use modern rounds broke a pin in his WW1 Erfurt shortly after. I would appreciate comments on this. Is subsonic 9mm ammo available as a factory round or is it a custom reload only? Or more importantly is the 1914 DWM something that should be really kept as an artifact only? The thing is I don't even hesitate to shoot modern ammo thru my 1930 Colt Police Positive 38 Special and the P08 seems (is) a much higher quality piece of work.
