LUGER has Function Issues??

I had the same problem, but I didn't get the 2 or 3 shots! I tried beveling the disconnector and trigger lever. I checked, cleaned, and lubed the disconnector and trigger return springs. I checked the trigger bar/sear interface. In the end I sent it to Tom Heller who fixed the problem, something internal with the side-plate and a bad trigger lever.
Try all the above. If no soap...you've got Tom's address.

I only got the Multiple shots once or twice, MOST (almost all) were one shot at a time, and then Only after I raised the Toggle a bit...
The disconector seems to move freely, and is not sticking from what I can tell.. Striker parts are also clean, and I do believe I had enough lube on the gun.. NOT a lot, but I think enough..
I also figured 4 AMMO types would be sufficient for testing, but wanted to be sure I at least mentioned what I used.. Seems to me "IF" it was working correctly ONE of those ammo types would have run her for sure??

"IF" I have to send it off I will do so but I'm hoping I can correct it myself??

Hello, always check for a loose sideplate... field strip the pistol and just reinstall the sideplate, if you can wiggle it back'n'forth on the frame...then,...the same thing is happening when you shoot it! just a plact to start... keep plugging away..you'll be a bit smarter when you done!

Best to all, til...lat'r...GT BTW, My father used to say, " I hit myself with a hammer, cuz it fees so good when I quit!" Welcome to the world of shooter Lugers!!!
