What exactly do you mean by jamming? Jamming means different things to different people. Did your Luger stove pipe? Did a casing stay in the barrel while the toggle tried to feed another into it? Did your pistol not **** after a round was fired? And so forth. Usually, the problem is ammo, but it also could mean a bad mag or a dirty gun. Maybe the breech block end piece is jammed in too far? Maybe you have a pre-1913 mag in a post 1913 Luger? Maybe the extractor is broken or worn? Maybe the extractors spring is broken? On an individual gun, individual things can go wrong. Maybe the mag is dirty. You said that you were shooting in sandy soil. Maybe some sand got in someplace.

A good key would be if you shot this gun before your fishing trip, did that problem occur then too or was it the first time that you shot this Luger? What changed?

Lots of questions need to be answered.
