Diagnose A Problem

I agree that the ammo may have been underpowered... Fiocchi ammo is particularly bad for Lugers as it was loaded to make sure that if it were accidently used in the 9mm Gilisenti auto pistol that it wouldn't disassemble the gun in the shooter's hand... The cartridge cases are virtually identical.

Winchester bulk white box of 100 rounds 115 gr. FMJ ammo available in most walmart stores is very reliable ammo in both Lugers and P-38 pistols. Make sure the gun is reasonably lubricated with breakfree during shooting...
