Help me understand "grip". Is it the fact that the magazine spring is so strong as to force the cartridge up against the lips very tightly?

A very common Luger feeding problem is caused by cartridges with OALs that are too short to properly feed from the magazine. This canting downward of the upper cartridges in the magazine can cause binding, and thus, jamming, usually of the upper three cartridges.
