I would like to see a photo of a 9mm cartridge in the chamber of your barrel(off of the gun), as I am beginning to think that perhaps DocDave is expecting the 9mm cartridge to go deeper into the chamber than where it normally resides in the chamber. In a Luger, the cartridge does not go fully into the chamber like some other pistol chambers exhibit. A 9mm cartridge will go nowhere near chambering in a 30Luger barrel, so that rules that scenario out. I would almost bet(I am not a betting man) that the 9mm cartridge is chambering in a normal way, but DocDave is not familiar enough with a Luger to realize this......I could be wrong, and have been many times before. If this is the case, then DocDave is merely experiencing a Luger malfunction of another cause, not a chamber problem.
