My Mec-Gar mags will hold 8 rds...That 1900AE mag is the only original Luger mag I have...

If you experts agree that original Luger magazines hold 8 rounds, I will happily pull this thread...

Can't have erroneous data on the forum...

Hi,

Per the original German operating manuals and sales ads, all factory original German manufacture magazines hold 8 rounds, either 7.65 or 9mm. The hogwash that original magazines only held 7 rounds goes around now and then, though.

If we stay with the original German documents, we will get the truth.
