I had a chance to get some range time today, and took the OFM stainless Luger along with a new-to-me 1911. The 1911 has a stainless frame and a Sarco Brazilian army parts kit.

With the OFM Luger I shot 115gr FMJ w/5.25gr W231 & 1.150 OAL. I only shot 25 rounds. I had to stroke the toggle 2-3 times for each first shot. Not sure why that is. Maybe that's why the barrel/barrel extension/lug was .040" too far forward???

I'll try polishing the feed ramp in the frame and barrel. Maybe see if I can get an angle measurement on the barrel ramp.

I noticed a bit of burnishing on the frame rail where the toggle knobs strike. Nothing major.

No stovepipes. 4-5 failure to feeds. All ejected OK. Most went flying by my head, as they raced for the farthest and darkest corners of the range. (Same with the .45 cases).

Magazine was super hard to load 5-6 rounds in. I guess I'll have to break down and buy a loading tool. Or make one...Yeah!!!

It actually shot better than I was expecting. I shot off a rest at 50 feet. The 1911 shot better.
