Sounds like underpowered ammunition to me... what brand are you using? Fiocchi is well known for underpowered ammo as are a few others.
The Luger needs the proper load to function.
The forum members give excellent functioning reports for the Winchester branded bulk box of 100 rounds - 115 grain bullets sold at Walmart for about $11.00 a box...
Make sure that your Luger is properly lubricated and operates smoothly when operated manually.
If you continue to have this problem after trying the ammo I have recommended, I would think that the mainspring might be too strong... especially if it was ever replaced.
Let us know how you make out with the ammo change...
