9mm ammo

David,

Lugers were not designed for steel cases, as they were designed with a stepped chamber (for one thing).

In fact, only brass cased ammo marked "Nur fur Pistole 08", "for P-08 pistols only" was so marked and issued by the Germans throughout WWII.

Coupled with, no doubt, overloaded velocity; this ammo could cause you some real mechanical problems, if shot through a Luger regularly.

I'd save this ammo for a more modern 9mm pistol.
