I had that happen on one of my Lugers as well. It turned out to be a buildup of crud under the safety arm. I drifted the pin out, removed the safety arm and scrubbed the built-up crud off with a brass brush. It has worked perfectly since then.

I had it happen once after I installed a new pair of aftermarket grips on the Luger. One shot and it would not fire the next shot. I located the problem, and "tuned" the left grip, and have had no problems since.
