I can vouch for the GT improved magazine. If the magazine spring is weak in any way it can cause a jam. The Luger action is very fast and the magazine spring has a tough job moving all of the rounds up fast enough to have the top round properly in place before the action starts to close. I had the same problem as you. The base broke out of the Mec-Gar magazine after a few uses. GT's aluminum base and special magazine spring will really give you an advantage over other magazines you can buy. I read an article from a few years ago about one of the nations top gunsmith who decided to see why the Luger jammed so much. His conclusion was the magazine, and especially the spring. He replaced it with the strongest spring he could stuff into the magazine. He could only load five rounds into the magazine, but it would not jam. Another reommendation, would be to thouroughly clean the gun, and properly lube it, if you havn't already. It is hard to do, but cleaning the inside of the magazine and properly lubing it might help out as well. I went from a Luger that would at its best only fire two rounds before jamming to one that jammed just once out of 120 rounds the last time I took it out...
