I think, and this is only my opinion, that if "pierced primers" are a regular problem, then....
1. You should examine the firing pin for damage to the tip, as the pierced primer will gas cut the tip, and exacerbate the problem, only causing MORE pierced primers.
2. Immediately discontinue the use of the primers, or ammunition that is causing the problem. As civilian "hobby" shooters, we are not typically using our Luger pistols in battlefield conditions where we are "stuck" with issued or scrounged ammo. We have choices in the ammo we use. Seek other ammo. The cheapest ammo will usually give the cheapest results. Your mileage may vary.....
