Damaged frame

Sound advice above about checking it out.

It does not look too bad; and it cannot be "repaired" anyway.

Use it with "regular" velocity ammo, and keep watch on the inside.

Take a picture of the back of the bolt and the ramp curves of the ears and post them for reference too.

Thank you for the replies. I have never used any loads that were to powerful in my gun. Because I have always been very afraid to damage the gun. I started out with Magtech 115 grain and Geco 124 grain. At the moment I use American eagle that is made for use with a gun that has a silencer attached to it. The specs are:

Grain Weight 124 Grains
Muzzle Velocity 1030 Feet Per Second
Muzzle Energy 292 Foot Pounds

I have not yet changed the main spring, because the gun functions very well. But it does feel less strong that the one in the p08 of a friend of mine. Do you have any suggestions for a good manufacturer of a new main spring?

I`ll post the suggested photo`s today.
