Ciao Marco,
c'mon, ...Rome wasn't built in a day and you should expect some minor problem from an old lady....also from the younger...

Problem 1): I assume that firing pin is in good shape as well as the firing spring. It sounds like the disconnector didn't come back to the firing position. Take a look at the topic "Cocking problem? ". Very easy to fix.

Problem 2): Many things can happer here. Take a look at the topic "Toggle does not return to battery "

Problem 3): this could be little more tricky. I would say:
a) recoil spring too stiff
b) magazine spring too weak (did you have failures to feed)
c) magazine bottom or hold open worn
d) the magazine is dirt and its spring can't push the follower strong enought
Given that fact that you shoot commercial Fiocchi I wouldn't think about weak ammo

In "Repairs, Restoration & Refinishing " you can find all the problems we had with our lady , giust make a "search" and you will find the solutions to your problems.

Have fun and don't blame your Luger.

P.
