Hi, just picked up my 1st Luger after years of drooling. It's a 42 dated chamber, byf toggle. All external numbers appear to match . The bore is excellent but the weapon has been re-blued. I bought it as a shooter so I wasnt too concerned about the re-blue . Grips are a black plastic/bakelite and are unnumbered with no markings (aftermarket?) . Mag is an fxo 37 .My question is this , when retracting the toggle or lowering it slowly it can stay in sort of a half-**** position . Is this normal or is something amiss , weak mainspring maybe ? After firing it for the first time I had some stovepipes and/or extraction failures . It seemed to function better with hot loads . Would this also be normal ( liking hotter loads ?) I've given the gun a good cleaning and lubing and will go back to the range soon with a few diferent ammo types to see what happens. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated to keep this new luger owner happy. Also having some problems with a broomhandle if anybody has some ideas about those . Thx, Cory.
