Magazines: Not quite a part of the handgun proper, but a magazine with a problem follower or a fatigued spring simply won’t feed and can cause more problems than one. If you can rule out fouling and limp-wristing, the extraction problem is likely due to the extractor.Ħ.
The other is that you are not limp-wristing the gun when you fire it. Fouled actions can hamper feeding and extraction. One, is that the action of the gun is clean. Just make sure of two things before you replace them. Extractors: Extractors and extractor springs can both fail, which can cause blatant failures to cycle as well as stovepipe jams. Keep a spare before your spring fatigues.ĥ. These springs are prone to failure on all recoil-operated platforms - and on others, as well. Recoil springs: Guess what happens to a recoil-operated handgun when the recoil springs get fatigued. A fairly unknown Luger part, but an essential one.Ĥ. Firing pin spring retaining pins: If the firing pin spring retaining spin is deformed or alters the breech, it will not secure the firing pin spring, making it impossible to fire the weapon. These will fail long before the firing pins themselves.ģ. Firing pin springs: Fatigued firing pin springs will prevent the firing pins from striking the primer with sufficient force to ignite it. But - it could happen, especially on a pistol that’s over 100 years old and has seen service.Ģ. You’d likely need to put 50,000 or more rounds through the barrel before you started to experience burnout. It just doesn’t generate the sort of pressure you’d associate with barrel burnout. Barrels: Admittedly, you’re not likely to shoot out a Luger barrel using 9mm ammo. So let's talk about some Luger parts that are either nice or necessary to have.ġ. This is all the more true if you own and shoot a Luger that is approaching - or exceeding - a century of service. Though it has a reputation for gritty reliability, the Luger, a recoil-operated semi-automatic that features a toggle-lock mechanism, is far from failsafe. Though it has seen official service in several countries, the Luger is most closely associated with the Germans, who carried these pistols through both World Wars. The Luger Pistol, properly the Pistole Parabellum, named after Georg Luger who patented it, was produced from 1898 to 1949.
