Phil -

A weak magazine spring will frequently cause a Luger to jam. The toggle action operates so quickly that an old and weakened magazine spring simply can not move the new cartridge into position quick enough. An old spring can become "set" and weakened.

Suggestion: Try using a new Mec-Gar brand magazine and see if this does not cure the jamming problem. These magazine are made in Italy.

You can get them from "Luger Doc" right here on the Forum.
