Henry,

I don't remember where I heard about holding the grip tightly on a Luger, but after you mentioned it in your post, it came back to me that the Luger must have a firm grip to operate properly. Jerry and Tom prettly well stated that opinion too. If my memory serves correct, there was a test done with gripping the pistol and the results was that a "limp" hold would cause jamming. Find out what ammo your son was using, grip the pistol well and see what happens.

As everyone stated, the magazines are the usually the culprit as the originals are old and worn. A good aftermarket magazines for shooting works well.

If you are looking for a nice shooter, give Tom Heller a call or send him an e-mail to see what he has in stock. Tom's address and phone number are listed in the "Links & Resources" section on the Forum. Tom is an honest dealer and may be have what you need.
