OK, THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE CHIMED IN WITH ADVICE AS TO HOW TO GET MY PISTOL ROLLING ALONG SMOOTHLY.

Sorry for posting on the commercial side. The post should have been here, I guess.

As I mentioned on the previous post, there appears to be just a smidge of excess stiffness just before the toggle reaches its most rearward point. Removing the grip panel and hand racking the action, I notice that the mainspring appears to reach complete "crush" BEFORE the toggle reaches its most rearward point. Then the spring bends to the side with the coils slightly overlapping each other.

I THINK this is the source of the increased stiffness.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY MAINSPRING IS A COUPLE COILS TOO LONG??

Are Luger mainsprings made with different lengths?

This increased tension occurs at just the point where a fresh round should be stripped from the mag, so i am wondering now if the mainspring is my problem after all!

Any ideas????
