1937 s/42 p08

Hi,

I’m new to this forum, having recently purchased a refinished 1937 Mauser P08. The weapon is a shooter and is in overall fine shape, but jams relatively often with 115 gr ammo (Winchester and Mag Tech). Compared to other guns, magazines seems to fit loosely, not as snug as I would expect. I have both new and “vintage” magazines, and both types jam. Could the magazine fit cause jamming ? Would replacing the mag latch help ? Or should I switch to a hotter load (e.g. 124 gr) ?

I really enjoy shooting this pistol, so hope I can find a fix. I’ll post pictures once the moderator approves my account.

Thanks for any advice !
