my new mitchell luger

[LugerVern]

The button on the mag triggers the hold open, it sometimes hangs on the frame at the very top. This can be caused by the shooter holding the gun in the two hand mode and resting the mag in the palm of one hand.
You may want to shoot your new gun being careful not to apply too much pressure on the mag.
New guns sometimes have burs, or need lubrication.

Here is what I would suggest you do to see where the problem is! My guess is that the 115 gr load is to light as you mentioned.

Insert the magazine into the Luger and pull back the toggle back till it locks open! If it does your first assumption was correct, you need a 124 gr round to function the toggle assembly.

I have yet to find a Luger magazine that the spring was too weak to function a Luger correctly!

Dear George:

I respectfully disagree with this statement, as I have found the major problem with Lugers jamming is worn or weakened springs, both magazine and recoil.
