Just wanted to share my latest acquisition. I've always wanted a Luger to go with my C96 Mauser.
I have one question for the group, it seems that spare magazines are $200. Is that the case for 30 Luger Mausers? I appreciate the help! Any info on the holster would be appreciated. But just for fun, here's some photos of the beauty.

A web search indicates Mec-Gar Luger magazines are ~$30.
CDNN has them for half that. |

Mec Gar makes 9mm Luger magazines. I checked last night, they do not make 30 Luger magazines. I was not aware that they are interchangeable.
Ok, upon further research, they use the same magazine. Thank you very much! I didn't know they were the same. That saves me a great deal of money!!!!! |

You would have had to have known that the 30 luger was the parent case of the 9mm.

In case anyone is looking for magazines, this is what CDNN is selling for $15. I don't have ammo to test them at the moment but I wanted to share with everyone.

That is a good price if they are MecGar - most sources are about 2X that price. |

So far the magazines the have been 100% but the springs are really strong, only been able to get 5 or 6 rounds in a magazine.
Interesting experience at the range the last two days. The PPU ammo I purchased worked well. The Fiocchi has had two very interesting failures. The case was sheered in half, leaving part of the casing stuck in the chamber and trying to eject the other half. At first I thought it was simply a dirty chamber but I disassembled and cleaned this morning, only to have this happen again. 15 rounds of PPU withouth a problem and about 11 rounds of the Fiocchi before another case sheering. It looks it's an ammunition problem since they were so uniformly cut in half.

Looks like bad brass for sure. Any of the others showing any rings in that area? Could be a head space problem.

I had the same case head separation with prvi partizan .357 Magnum ammo in my Colt Python many years ago. Looks like they have a problem with the bullet sealant to me.
The little Luger screwdriver tool does double duty to load magazines; it is put on the knob of the mag and helps to push the spring down. In the Luger the magazine spring and main spring have to be balanced for the gun to work well, that's why the heavy springs in MecGar P.08 mags give generally good results. |

Just thought I would share some photos of projects associated with this gun.

I also have a Swiss Luger
Mec Gar magazines work perfectly in the gun. These magazines are as well made as the original |

Nice pistol
Never had any time for Fiocchi ammo in my .455 revolvers - it always seemed to be half the thickness of any other brand |

You got that from Marylin, didn't you?
I was close to buying that gun myself. |
