1942 Luger (Issue #2)

It ejected, but had another issue before I put new springs in it. The toggle would not have enough energy to load the next round into the chamber. Sometimes it would but 20% of the time it wouldn't. It would also jam like I posted above.

The new springs cured the toggle not having enough energy to load the next round, and now I've concentrated on this issue. I just figured before it was due to an issue with the gun that was also causing this issue.

(Yes I'm holding the gun very securely and its still doing the same thing.)

My gut is telling me its the ejector, but it does not appear to be broken. This evening (after I shot the gun and this issue is still there), I decided to remove the ejector and put more of a "bow" in the spring. I've reinstalled it and now hand cycling, the brass is thrown further out of the gun.

I was just posting for suggestions or if someone else has had this issue they could chime in.
