I imagine that the person that "fitted" this revolver barrel to the Luger ran up against the problem of thread angle (remember the preference for British "Whitworth" thread profile by DWM)...

Depending on the source of the "replacement" barrel, it's unlikely that it had the correct thread pitch and face angle, so any number of "adjustments" might have been committed.
