Hi All,

Yes, this is the real problem, when the rear of the breach block, at its most extended position, slaps the upper frame of the pistol. This happens internally, and can not be observed from the outside, unless the pistol is stripped. It can be felt, however, in the web of your hand, if the ammo is hot enough.

When loaded with proper ammo and when the springs are right, this doesn't happen at all.

This is the cause of most Luger mechanical failures!!!

Please don't try to make a Luger into some kind of a "magnum" buy changing out springs, as it won't work, and, eventually, you will destroy your Luger.
