Default Truncated Cone Ammo

Hi:

No, the original DWM 9mm round was a truncated cone design, so the feed ramp was originally designed to feed them perfectly.

Please measure one round. It should be 29mm long. As previously stated, modern ammo is usually loaded too short. To short of ammo will hang-up in the magazine (only takes a split second) and jam the pistol.

For proper function, treat the ammo of a Luger as simply another precision part of it, as the Luger's design is very unforgiving when it comes to ammo.

Another problem may be a flat point just too wide, as compared to the original design. Some flat point and hollow point bullets currently available are just too wide to feed in that steep angle magazine design.

The only ammo that will truly function perfectly is precision hand loaded ammo tuned to your particular pistol. With proper ammo, expect amazing accuracy and reliability of function.
