Hi Rootshot,
The Luger hold-opens functions when the follower button of an empty magazine comes into contact with it. It will not hold the action open if the magazine still has a round in it, or with no magazine. An offending magazine can be adjusted so this can happen when it's supposed to, or the situation very often improves with the use of a different magazine entirely.
Congrats on your find!
David Parker
