Identification of DWM Luger

You may have sheared off a 9mm case in the chamber. If so, the case is stuck to the chamber wall and will not allow you to chamber another round.

Considering that you already fired 2 9mm rounds through the gun I'm assuming it is indeed, a 9mm. But again I have to ask; ARE YOU SURE this is a 9mm gun?? It might be a wildcat other than .30 Luger.

Another possibility is if the second round was a squib round, and the bullet(projectile) did not clear the barrel, and is stuck in the barrel not allowing another cartridge to fully chamber. This is a strange situation. By breaking down the Luger, you can look into the chamber and it will tell you what has happened. Keep us informed.

Thankk you for the replies. I broke the Luger down and there is nothinh appaernet in the barrel.

When I slide a 9 mm 9 x 19 into the chamber about 1/8 to 1/16 will not go in so that it can fire.

The tolerances seem to just be too tight of our new 9 mm cartridges.

I tried Winchester and also Lellier and Bellot FWJ. Sometimes one or two will fire but then it jams.

I am curious if anyone else has experienced such tolerances.

This appears to be a DWM matched number luger but no date on it with serial number 4051.

Any other suggestions on what ammo manufatcurer I might try

Thanks again

Dave
