Breechblock doesn't keep open after the last round fired

Vern, Thank you for your input

I forgot to mention that when I manipulate my Luger and I pull back the knobs with an empty mag the breechblock always keeps open, the problem only appears when firing.

But as you suggested, I have removed the right grip and check how the mechanism of the holdopen works.
The magazine knob pushed the holdopen upwards and is wasnÃ¢??t hitting the frame.
I have pushed the holdopen with my thumb and I noticed that it was a bit hard, so I removed it and cleared it with WD-40, After I reassemble it seems to me that the holdopen goes up a little more

So after the Christmas break I will try again on the shooting range but based on all your post I will focus now on
- the 115 Grain FMJ ammunition than I use today
- Week mag springs.
