Hi:

Do you really mean cartridges, as I know of no Chinese or Czech after market components on the market here in the U.S.?

If you are shooting Chinese cartridges, you are lucky to still have a functional Luger, as the ones I have experienced are red hot!!!

The Czech cartridges should be closer to the WWII standard formula, and though plenty hot, shouldn't harm your Luger.

I partially agree with Tac. Cartridge A.O.L. is a vital component to a fully functional Luger. Hollow Point bullets either may or may not work, depending on the shape of the nose of the bullet.

For instance, the Speer 124gr. "Softpoint" when loaded to 29mm A.O.L. will work perfectly, as they mirror the original truncated cone DWM bullet closely enough.

Good luck, but avoid red hot Chinese 9mm if you value your Luger!!!
