Thanks for all the help and advice offered. The problem is not due to limp-wristing. I made a special effort to hold the gun as tightly as possible with both hands and to lock wrists and shoulders. It did not help. Next time at the range I will see if the slide will lock back on the last shot. Also I will push the magazine up hard into the grip with my left palm when firing with both hands to see if that will help. Perhaps the magazine catch is faulty and holding the magazine too low. I ordered a MecGar magazine and will try that as well. If none of that helps I will try replacing the recoil spring with Wolff standard and reduced power springs. If all fails I will have to find another Luger gunsmith. Can anyone suggest someone really good?
