That "problem" generally means an extremely accurate pistol.

"Am I being too picky for an entry level luger?"

Yes, JMHO.

You need to test fire it after cleaning and a good lube.

Come back then and tell us about the results.

Hi Don, my range is currently closed due to a renovation for another week. I will keep everybody updated on how the gun shoots as soon as it opens. From reading the posts looks like it should all be fine.

Merick, I checked the slide with a digital caliber. The results are as follows:

Slide opening closest to chamber 13.03 mm
1/4 way down 12.96
1/2 way down 12.88
3/4 way down 12.79
end of slide 12.73

Total variance .30 mm

Looks like no big deal, hoping to fire luger this week, that will give the final outcome.

I wanted to add the results of range firing pistol here. By mistake I posted results in another one of my posts. The gun cycled fine, no jamming as all on board expected. Next purchase I will watch out for this condition though.
