new member that would like input on his new Luger (PIC NOW INCLUDED)

Support the magazine on its side with a small block of wood and hold the end of the magazine off the edge high enough so that the pin has room to clear. I use a finishing nail a little smaller than the drift pin and a small hammer to tap it out, helps also to use a penetrating oil on it first, as Tom mentioned, pay attention to how the spring & follower come out, they can go back in wrong. I reassemble using the nail to align the holes and make sure the pin goes back in the way it came out. Congratulations on the Luger.
