Mark, You need some more powerful ammo. With the last round in the chamber fired , does the holdopen activate and keep the toggle back?

I have broken many parts on Lugers. For years I thought this would not be a problem but found it is likely to happen at any time. Grips cracking, extractors breaking etc. I like to shoot my weapons but there are some I will not shoot including my 1916 marked Artillery, all matching including magazine. Too expensive to break a part and I have another shooter Artillery anyway.
Good Luck! Jerry Burney
