I Give Up on the P08

[DavidJayUden]

And if you are certain that there is insufficient pressure/recoil, how about experimenting with some +p rounds? I understand that they are universally discouraged for Luger's, but it may help you to find the true root of your problems in just a couple of shots.
Don't forget about sending the recalcitrant P08 to the LugerDoc and have him breath on it. It doesn't cost much and it may spare you some headaches.
Good mag, plenty of oil, tight grip, good ammo. And remember to hold your mouth just right...

I tried that on a 1997 Frankonia refurbished Mauser P08, obtaining the same result with brand new, factory spec springs all around. Maybe my mouth is remiss.
