Marine, You might try the above suggestions, but if your chamber is eroded so much that a loaded round will "wiggle" around up & down or side to side, polishing will not help and it's time to replace your barrel. If the chambered round is tight and you have check out the extractor as OK, it's possible that your EJECTOR is sticking intermitenly. With the toggle assy removed, press on it from the inside to see that it moves smoothly in & out and check outside visually, that it is not too long or binding on the sides. Email sent. TH

OK, I will give it a try on the ejector check. This pistol has been rebarreled and the lands and grooves are almost like new. A loaded cartridge fits in as it should and does not move around.
The fired and not ejected empties seem to stick. That is the mystery to me. But then, a lot of any Luger is a mystery to me!
Do you think a new extractor spring is called for?
Thanks for the help.
