Eddie,

This is a common problem and there are numerous posts regarding it on the forum. In most cases the ammo is not hot enough or the magazine is damaged or too weak. It sounds like you've taken the first step with different mags and ammo. I suggest two things: With the receiver assembly removed, manipulate the hold open and make sure its not sticking. Also, remove the right grip, insert a magazine and examine the magazine loading button in its slot in the frame. The button pushes the hold open up. If it's damaged or the slot is scuffed up it can cause the problem. If everything seems to be working properly you might try a lighter recoil spring available from Wolff Gunsprings (link on Luger homepage). KFS
