I played with this idea in the past, and it has some bases but may not be what your expecting.
A long time a go I had a perfectly functioning luger and as any gunsmith will tell you leaving your gun alone is next to impossible
I polished the feed ramp to a mirror smooth surface and then the problems with jams started, it wasn't until several hundred rounds later that it settled down and started functioning properly again.
As a new bullet goes up the ramp, a mirror smooth ramp allows the bullet to float and cause a jam. With some resistance the nose of the bullet is forced down and enters the chamber properly.
Seems strange but very true, lugers are very interesting guns
