Bent part and reliability?

[Stevie]

I've thought I had my 1920 DWM "fixed" a couple of times. This pistol has experienced malfunctions from day 1, followed by periods of good reliability. I replaced the mainspring with a 36# spring and had the gun working great, or so I thought. The poor old P08 started acting up again. I just installed a 38# spring and swapped magazines with my other pistol. This seemed to have helped slightly. I took both my 9mm P08's out and shot them today. My 42 Mauser ate shells from all 5 of my mags,no problems( I've only seen this gun jam once, when my daughter limpwristed it and it stovepiped an empty). The DWM would only fire reliably with one of my Mec-Gar mags ( that I had installed an xtrapower spring in). It would not lock back when empty with any mag, and jammed frequently.

I've just finished cleaning and examining both guns. Preformed feed checks with dummy rounds(both passed,feed fine manualy), and may have found the problem. With the guns unloaded but cocked and on safe, I can pull pull back slightly on the Mauser toggle and it stays put, backed of the breech about a quarter inch and toggle up in the air. Do this to the DWM and the toggle just snaps shut(I've noticed this before). I pulled the cannons off and checked out the inside, everthing appears fine, but on closer inspection the connecting link from the toggle to the mainspring lever on the DWM has appearently bent itself somewhat straighter than the one in the Mauser. Has anyone else experienced this type of problem? I don't suppose it's a difference in manufacture?

Thanx, Stevie.
