Another thing to check is the actual fit of the magaazine in the grip. I just picked up a 1920 in .30 cal, which has a very worn magazine catch. It slips down far enough for the breechblock to 'slip' over the top round, and doesn't always push the bolt stop up far enough to catch the bolt. I suspected a weak magazine spring, but it functions this way with three different magazines, and the catch is visibly -very- worn. Thor is right on in the matter of recoil spring, I have the 'weak spring' problem in my 1900 Americal Eagle, and end up having to push the toggle the rest of the way down most every shot.

Frankly, though, if your son has successfully put a couple of boxes of through the gun, you probably have nothing more than an ammo problem or a handhold problem.

Lugers are -great- shooters, enjoy!
