#1 - Back in the days before Wondernines , and when actual Lugers were commonly used as regular shooting pistols , it was a common problem of Lugers not being reliable with American mfg ammo, because it was too weak . The solutions were either seek out European ammo ( not common in those days ) , or to clip a coil or two off the spring .
#2 - I'm not immediately recalling the source , but once upon a time read an article whereby a selection of 9mm NATO ammo was tested using SAAMI methods .
A cpl takeaways - amongst the lots and mfg of NATO ammo , the velocities were fairly consistent , but significant differences in Pressures . ( See mention above about peak pressures can vary a lot even when velocity/ energy is the same , due to powder burning speed, etc .)
Some NATO ammo was within SAAMI , some between SAAMI and +P , some over +P .
