It's likely that the hard recoil hits relate to the age of the original recoil spring. Replacing them is a good move.

Ensure that you have a good grip with good support when you shoot your Luger. It makes quite a bit of difference for correct cycling.

I generally use the 18-19 coil springs for the WW-I vintage Lugers, and the 21-22 coil springs for the WW-II Mauser Lugers.
