I have found all MecGars are not created equal. I recently acquired a 1906 .30 Luger American Eagle, and had exactly the same issues you are having, failure to feed/stovepipe. None of the MecGars would operate it correctly. Only the original would make it work ok.

On a different gun with a different magazine issue, I had to try several(five) different MecGars before I found one, #5, that would make the pistol work correctly. Empirical evidence that not all MecGars are created equal. Don't get me wrong - I agree MecGars are fine aftermarket magazines. It's just that the Luger pistol can be very, very picky about which magazine it will function with. My experience is that with magazine issues, sometimes you must try several before finding one that solves the issue.
I have found this to be true in my limited experience also.

Some mags even function one day and not the next.
