Tom, if the action does not fully activate so that it cannot override the hold-open, the spring is either too strong - or the ammo too weak. As the spring is most likely older than 2/3rds of the population, I concur with Hakon that the ammo must be too weak. This is one of the commonest Luger problems. I�´ve experimented and now re-load for each of my Lugers individually.I use Geco brass when I can get it. Otherwise I use U.S. brass and, if I can�´t get that, I resort to S&B - which is often too short and varies in quality. Patrick
