Magazine stuck in Luger

Vincent..Like Ed says..push a stick into the mag..it may pop out before the spring bottoms out but if it doesn't.. then you have a stable rock bottom place to push. The only other alternative I can think of is to fold some cloth over the magazine pull and lock on gently with some locking pliers and pull.

While pushing down with the stick/ruler, make sure you are pressing the magazine release in all the way...

It's best to unload the magazine before pushing the follower down...

I suppose it is possible for the mag button to come loose and jam things up...There's nothing else that sticks out/in to jam the mag (if release is pressed in)...

You could always try pressing the mag release in while prying down on a base knob with a small screwdriver...

Thanks all! It worked. There is something wrong with the mags I ordered for it. They appear to be slightly too big with the gun. Both of them are very stiff going in. Guess I'm returning these ones.
