A few questions about my new luger

John Sabato · 09-05-2006, 01:37 PM

the holdopen is actually operated by contact with the spring loaded mag button. Make sure there is adequate clearance under the right grip for this to take place. If you remove the top assembly, you should be able to see the mag button press against and raise the holdopen device... try doing this without the right grip attached to see if there is any difference in reliability... aftermarket magazines are not necessarily manufactured to operate the holdopen reliably... the best magazines are the extruded FXO type or the east german clones of the original mags...

Mec-gar mags are the best aftermarket mags...

If the pins in your existing magazines do not stay put well enough to allow unfettered insertion, I would only use them on the range if there are not any known good ones... the finnish mag has probably seen it's better days...
