Thank you!
I have owned my luger for 12 years. I had long wanted one and finally found a matching numbers 1921 dwm in very good original condition. I have tried off and on to shoot it, it always failed to feed, best I could do was 2 shots before an FTF resulting in one round stuck in the ramp or at 90 degrees. Once a year or so I would get the itch, strip it, exam everything, clean, try grease vs oil, different rounds, nada. Advice I had before I joined here last week was try higher grain bullets, I tried 147 (worst) 135 hollow points (also bad) various brands of 115 and 124 best was 3 cycles. My original mag sucked, some no name blued with a very stiff spring. I tried a new nickel plate mecgar, no improvement, it actually seemed worse as it latched low and had a very soft spring. Tried a Wolff full spring stock, I was consistently getting 2-3 rounds before a FTF. So I got on here and tried polishing the feed ramps, got some fresh 124 grain bullets and saw an article on the one handed ridged locked arm grip. bingo! I got a full clip to go through twice. It was an awesome feeling. All I can add to your data is that 124 grain Aguilla ammo works like a charm for me. I still would like to resolve the low lock of the mecgar mag, I have ordered another to see if it was one off.
