Please take a photo of this area from the top of the pistol looking down. This right here may be your problem.

I hope that's what you were looking for :/ I'm still going to try your idea; just haven't been to the range yet.

Of course it would be a good idea to also check the condition of the extractor and ejector, which can also delay case removal. TH

Good info! Where exactly is the recoil spring located? Not inside the bolt assembly, right? That's the only spring I've seen other than the hold-open spring. Could the recoil spring also be causing my hold open issue?
here's some photos of the extractor and ejector. I'm new to lugers so I don't know what abnormalities in which I may be looking
It's a bit dirty.. sorry! Wanted it this way for the photos though
