If the magazine button is dragging on the inside of the grip it could be.

That could be it, I did buy some fancy grips for it. Maybe I'll try using the original grips and see if there's a difference.

An excellent idea, Luger grips *can* be problematic, and try a different magazine after that. My advice is also to change the recoil spring then troubleshoot the problem. Springs are cheap - I always replace the "usual suspects" when I acquire a used gun, just like I put new hoses, belts, and water pump on a used car. You don't know their condition, nor when they were last changed.

I had a similar problem, mine ended up being the bolt hold open spring. got the part from numrich and so far have about 250 flawless rounds after. I would check to see that the bolt hold open moves freely.
