If you mean did the original manufacturer (DWM/BKIW) make such a front sight, the answer is no. It is an aftermarket sight.

I also am a reloader. I believe that you will find that minimum powder loads in 9mm will not cycle the toggle. Of course, a lot depends on what mainspring your Luger has installed. I might suggest starting at mid level of powder, then go 0.1gr both up and down, to see which way works the best. Most Luger reloaders strive for a load that is accurate, and the least powder and still have it function 100%. Good luck.
