I'm guessing a primer was not fully seated and the slide set the round off before being fully in battery. I load 5.4 gr Unique under a plated 124 gr fmj, which is hot enough to cycle all my 9s...
The cheapest it sold for was 13 cents a pop plus shipping......ie a penny a round UPS back then.
I think German WW2 ammo was fairly hot....moderate loads may not be required...or may not function the slide all the way.
Pat's reloading has 55gr for $12 a hundred...plus shipping.
