Lifer, Thanks for scanning the photo from Mathews, this verifies my opinion that most luger mags were made to only hold 7 rounds, although once the mag spring has weakened an eight round will fit. Unfortunately, I don't see the mag indicator in the window of the above photo. TH

Datig has/had a pic of the CC mag in his book; from the look of the grip in the color pic above, the lined mag indicator would only appear in the left half of the window...

Doesn't look like the magazine would be too hard to modify (for someone like Gerry) - Was the gripframe itself modified? Did the 'indicator' stick out past the magazine tube???

Tom, I think that's because the magazine has zero rounds in it...The indicator is up inside the gripframe...

No number on the strip for zero rounds...
