Luger Reliability

You've done the basics, experimenting with ammo and different magazines. When those don't cure the issue it requires a bit more experience to fix things. You might publish your location, perhaps an experienced member is near you and could help. The advice to contact G.T. or Lugerdoc is sound.

Sometimes it can be related to the bullet shape and length. I recently bought some maxtech FMJ 115 grain and it turned my Lahti, and my p38 into jamm o matics, and my shooter Luger has a hard time with the first and last rounds. All these guns run beautifully with S&B 115 grain FMJ, which I have gone back to. The Max Tech are 2mm shorter overall, and they just don't present as well in the magazine.
