I don't buy in that US ammo is underpowered and you need "hotter" ammo, its just not my observation.

Wally world ammo works fine, but I have had some lugers that were "picky" with some ammo and others that fed and used almost anything. Usually it is the magazine, not the ammo that is the problem.

Ah, since the bulk of the jamming problems I encountered were, in fact, using the original magazine, you sir, have "opened my eyes"!

I guess I should look to purchase a new magazine for this guy.

I have to admit, German engineering was fantastic - way back then - because this firearm is still, how do I say it - "tight"?, as it was the day my father gave it to me, and I fired it up in Brunswick, Maine - so many years ago.

It WAS handmade, am I correct?
