The recoil spring on Lugers is stiff, and needs to be that way. If one is not familiar with the proper method of cycling the cannon assembly(bolt, etc.) it will seem quite awkward, and difficult. The Luger is markedly different from cycling a 1911, Sig, S&W auto, etc., and it just takes a bit of practice. If you can cycle the Luger with little effort, you have a out of spec Luger, and one you do NOT want to fire.
