Magazine capacity question

[Kyrie]

Hi Tom,


I cannot speak to the Stoeger manual, but the DWM factory manuals (there were several) are reprinted in John Olson's "The Famous Automatic Pistols of Europe." This is volume one of a two volume set of pistol manual reprints (Vol 2 is entitled "Famous Pistols"), and I highly recommend the set to anyone with an interest in European C&R pistols.


As an aside, once a magazine spring has "bottomed out" (been fully compressed), it is then physically impossible to insert another round in the magazine - the interior volume of the magazine body is fully occupied. It is possible the magazine used in the illustration is one from Georg Luger's Baby Luger, as this shortened frame pistol did have a shorter magazine with a seven round capacity.


Best regards,


Kyrie
