Diagnose A Problem

If we are talking 7.65 mm Parabellum (30 Luger) the Winchester stuff is under loaded and the Fiocchi stuff is more so. The Glisenti was originally chambered for the 7.65 mm Parabellum, but very few exist as shortly after it was chambered for the 9 mm Glisenti. The latter is a reduced load version of the 9 mm Parabellum.

1. Make sure the pistol is properly cleaned and lubricated.

2. Make sure you have a good magazine.

3. Check to see if the recoil spring is a factory original. Lugers are notorious for having had their recoil springs exchanged or modified by some one who had no idea of what they were doing. This isn't really the fault of the pistol. To paraphrase Georg, the springs have to be right.

4. IF all elsefails, think of reloading. The Winchester and Fiocchi ammo ain't never gonna be right.

Ok, how do I tell if the recoil spring is original or a correct one?

Thanks
