The NATO load is some 17% hotter than the DWM WWI and later German Army loads.

Stick with the lighter loads, or you might easily damage your fine Luger.

Sieger, you are absolutly right. I'm really scared to hurt my baby, of course I'll stick with Winchester White Box or Remington UMC 115 gr. ammo.
Especially the Remington UMC ammo is very soft (and 1-2 mm shorter than other 9mm Luger ammo). I had the best results with regular Winchester White Box ammo. I'll give the box with the 9mm NATO rounds to my buddy. I've just shot a few rounds of the 9mm NATO ammo with my Luger.
