Hi,

It is normal for a Luger magazine to hang low in the pistol. One to two mm is not unusual at all. In fact, a Luger with a tightly fitting magazine is unusual.

Why this seemingly excess tolerance was built in, I don't know. Maybe to account for combat conditions, mud, etc..

Just some thoughts.
