My "new" Luger 08 from 1940

As has been stated many times on this, and other forums, a P08 Luger CAN be very ammo sensitive, not all are. It boils down to trial and error to find the ammo brand, and load that has the correct recoil impulse for your Luger and it's current springs. All Luger shooters go through this, and those of us that handload our ammo go through different powders, bullets, OAL, etc. to "custom load" ammo for our guns. Each Luger is an individual with it's own needs, and when they are met, you have a great shooting experience.
