I am not GT but I own a post war Parabellum, and had a similar experience. On mine, the mag catch claw is slightly larger than the ones on my old OEM Lugers. Not much larger, but just enough to cause this problem. The mag catch is not fully engaging the the hole in the mag. There are two(2) ways to fix this:

(1) Replace your mag catch with one from an early Luger.

(2) Use a sharp needle file to enlarge the mag catch hole just enough to solve the problem. Compare the holes to the mags that work correctly, and copy. It took very little file work to solve my problem.

Hopefully this will work for you, and get you up and running. Sorry if I stepped on GT's toes!!
