In my experience lugers require "normal" ammo and none of it is called either high speed or high power in the US.

We do have "+ P" and "+P+" marked ammunition - which is to be avoided in a luger. Also the "Nato" rounds are hot, they have the cross in the circle, so should not be used.

Is this what you mean?

Exactly, I'm part of other gun-forums too and I often read about guys looking for stronger ammos.
I realize that ours is not a let's say for example a Glock forum, and we should have perhaps a different sort of followers, still especially with younger people that buy an old war horse then sort of quiver by the desire to shoot it straight away I always prefer to remind them that they havent't got a new gun. Better careful than sorry.
