As mentioned above, Lugers like to be clean, and well lubed. Many are ammo sensitive also. I have had very good luck with PMC 115gr FMJ ammo in my Lugers. WWB works well also. The Remington, and all of the Russian steel cased ammo produces dismal performance in my guns.
These Lugers are prone to do "a number on the spent brass" during the ejection phase.....not a big deal. I am a handloader, so I have looked the brass over carefully. With a minimal of straightening, this brass can be reloaded quite successfully.
I had our own GT(on this forum) re-spring(with his special springs) a few of my mags, including Mec-Gar and the original Mauser mags. His springs have my mags working great now.....just a thought.
