I finally got my loader and drum, I have over ten varieties of luger nine. Some went in easier than others. Are they different or am I an Idiot! No need to answer!!

Although all 9mm rounds are the same caliber, the overall length will vary from round to round, depending on bullet weight, configuration and manufacturer. While most magazines compensate for this, the tension present in the drum mags may be pushing the longer rounds up against the magazine wall, causing some drag.

Thank You. I didn't think it was me!

You may want to lubricate the magazine a bit before use. It helps things move along.

The shorter over all length cartridges should load easier... and some brands may not tolerate the use of the loader or trommelmagazine at all.

... and Eric... don't be so hard on yourself...you can't be an idiot... you are a LUGER ENTHUSIAST and COLLECTOR for goodness sakes!

...It takes more than a big wallet and good luck to be a good one... You have the good sense to seek out the best advice available before spending your money... You are no rookie at this either... you have a very enviable collection of fine historical artifacts anyone would be proud to own.

Sometime my small loss of physical and tactile inability if frustrating. Whats worse is loss of short term memory. Check this out,Our first can was a 1960 Ford Fairlane,150 skymist blue FRX-615 Then a 1969 Chevy Malibu 283 RXB-918. When I was 17 I got my first DL 'B7669-23271-01562 I just realized the1 56 was my date of birth. Our first non party line phone# (201) 339-1068 I can forget Debbie name. I'm truly happy and thank all of you for your Patience. This year for the first time can walk unassisted. Our sheriff is taking me to our gunshow in february I'm turning a disability to a reborn ABILITY! Yesterday I opened my past and found the Chrismas that Mom went all out! I came home crying the kids in the neighbor hHaving no father"Finally I found a picture of Mom and I when I to here to my lawschool Villanova. Yesterday I fould the first check for $1800 tuition. It was a lonely graduation day! Thank You all for your kindness! Eric, Esq.
