Newbie With First Luger:

Get yourself a couple(or more) Mec-Gar P08 mags. They are the best aftermarket luger mags available. Go to Greg Cote LLC site. Last time I looked, he had them for sale. His prices are as good, or better, then most. A good mag may well solve all of your problems. One has to remember that some of these original mags(including springs) are 100 years old, and have been used!!

Thanks, Mec-Gar was mentioned by others.

But that obviously will not be original to the gun if I sell it sometime while the present mag could be, unknown since there are no numbers on it, but I read somewhere with these guns, ones that eventually became police, and some of those Blank-Toggles, that was not uncommon, I think even with mags that matched the guns.

So, even if shoot with a good Mec-Gar I'd still like the present one available that works. Go to a gunsmith for that like I'm doing?

Thanks a lot for the quick diagnosis and cure (hopefully).
