Hi,

You are experiencing the typical Luger jam!

If you handload, this will be fixed quite easily. If not, you should probably try buying a new Mac-Gar magazine.

These magazines have more aggressive springs and properly formed magazine feed "lips".

If you do handload, please do let me know.

Respectfully,
