I recently bought a German P-1(P-38) naturally it is 9mm. I know they are only supposed to fire 115 grain ball non +P cause the frame is alloy & can crack under high pressure. My weapon has the steel insert in the frame for support. If anyone has knowledge or experience on anything besides 115 gr. ball I would like to know. I believe frangible ammo is usually +P. I usually carry a .45 pre 2 kimber but I wouldn't mind carrying my P-1 once in a while. It's reliable!
Hi Christn,
I've managed to reliably feed only ball ammo out of my P1; anything else wouldn't feed right, even after changing mags and making the feed ramp so shiny I could see myself in it. I use it as a fun vintage plinker, though I was considering using it as a carry gun option "just because." I couldn't make it feed hollowpoints reliably, so I scrapped that idea.

Shot lots of Remington JHP out of the ones we had.
Keep the shotgun handy!!

If it won't shoot JHP, how about EFMJ?
If total government control equals safety, why are prisons so dangerous?

Armoredman I was wondering about EFMJ but I believe it only comes in +P which might be hard on my alloy frame cause their known to crack from high pressures on P-1 (p-38) I don't know??? Thanks for your reply.
