Damaged breech block/lots of brass

If you Luger is not a collectors piece---you can add flutes to the firing pin with a Dremal tool using a cutting wheel. Have done it several times. Put a cartridge in chamber and measure head protrousion. If it "don't stick out" at least 60 thousands---you are asking for a punctured primer and thereby stripped out breach block. Blocks can sometimes be fixed with careful installation of a small screw.
