<strong>First and foremost, factory loaded ammo is too short in the OAL to meet the original specs. This causes the cartridge to rise in the magazine with the nose too low. This may cause it to drag in the magazine. It may cause the cartridge nose to bounce up off the ramp.

If you handload, here are the proper OALs for the Luger. I know, these are a bit longer than standard, but that's why they work, they are the original lengths.
Round Nose 1.175 inches
Truncated Cone Flat Point 1.15 inches
Try to use bullets that come to more of a "point" at the front. Excellent examples are the newer Hornady hollow points in both 115 and 124 grains.
A luger that is not functioning properly can be a real disapointment, while one that is, is a heck of a lot of fun to shoot.
