Repro grips and best ammo?

04-25-2002, 10:00 PM

I finally picked up my 1940 Mauser (pictures soon to follow). Where is a good source for repro grips, so that I can preserve the originals? Also, in everyone's experience what brand/type of 9mm ammo typically gives the best functioning in Lugers?

Lots of discussion on both items, last time this went around I think the consensus was the Walmart Winchester 115g fmj, Hugh Clark did a set of grips for me, he sells reproductions that both fit and look excellent. Wolf ammo works for some but not others, won't fire in mine, seems like a quality round nosed powerful brass cased is best. I have a stash of Finnish 9mm made in 1962 that does very well in my luger; my P38 & Radom shoot anything as does my 1911A1. Some lugers are very particular.

Go with Hugh Clark for the grips; he is the BEST!!!

You will have a set to be proud of and they look original.
