I recall reading somewhere that lack of spring tension on the toggle as it moves into the final closed position is one of the innate flaws in the Luger pistol design, and the U.S. Army noted this weakness during their tests and it was one of the reasons the design was rejected. The Luger toggle relies on momentum to seat against the cartridge face.

I look at it like, if we wanted a pistol that didn't have these odd design issues we'd never mess with Lugers to start with. The only good part of these function issues is the feeling of accomplishment when you get a recalcitrant Luger running right. I will be very interested to hear how your testing and fixing goes.
