Lugers for Self Defense?

Phil,
I shot exactly 150 rounds last Saturday with my 1911, now my 1911 champion works flawless. The problem is gone.
I shot 50 rounds Remington UMC 230 gr and 100 rounds of my Wolf leftovers. I'll not buy Wolf ammo anymore, I don't like the steel cases. (I used those green (Chinese?) steel cased ammo years ago in my SKS and my VZ 52/57 without any problems.

I shot my Luger last Saturday, too. 80 rounds without any problem.
(Remington UMC and American Eagle ammo)
They only had AE 9mm ammo at this time for sale at the NRA range in Fairfax. For my opinion the AE ammo is a little bit too hot for the Luger, am I wrong?
I get the best results a with Remington UMC 115gr ammo, yet. I've ordered Winchester White Box a while ago at Cabela's, but they will not deliver yet, maybe in mid November.

I 've tried to find Winchester White Box somewhere else, but could not find it. (Sold out everywhere).
I have already shot 480 rounds with my Luger since I have this gun, and I just hat 3 times a case on the top of the mag after the last shot was fired, I had never a real misfunction, yet.

You did a nice job on your 1911! I'm looking forward to see some pics.
