Shooter won't go bang!

[Ron Smith]

I am using hand loads with CCI primers. I have used them before with no problems or failures in other .30s.

When I tried to fire the pistol. The sound and feel of the firing pin was was weak. When dry firing, it sounds and feels fine.

I think I will replace the spring and go from there. Although the spring tension seems very stout.

Thanks! Ron

Have kind of put 2 and 2 together? The firing pin was coated with clear grease(RIG or something similar). It was very cold where we were shooting(below freezing). The Luger had been in my shooting bag in the back of a pick-up truck most of the morning.

I think( read: hope) that the grease had coagulated due to the cold. And gummed up the channel.

Thanks again guys!!
