Mike, is your firing pin well lubricated??? Well it may just be too well lubricated. I had the same problem with one of my Lugers and found that when I removed the lubrication from the firing pin and the firing pin cavity in the breech block, then just lightly coated these areas by rubbing them with an cloth with just a bit of oil, my problem went away. You might try it!! GOOD LUCK!
