Default I Give Up on the P08

My original all-matching 1937 HK shooter is consistently short-stroking even with a fresh Wolff 36# mainspring. To date, the only 4" Luger ever to work for me has been a 1906 AE with a palpably tired mainspring. I don't know how y'all manage to empty a full P08 magazine without a failure to cycle. Henceforth all my Luger shooting will be in 7.65 Para with 1900 DWM, 06/29 W+F, and 06/35 Mauser variants, with 9mm Para relegated to LP08. Never a problem with these pieces.
