1912 DWM with byf toggle link - Can it be the problem?!

Paul1525 · 12-10-2010, 08:26 AM

I have a Luger marked 1911 on the top of the barrel. I assume it's a date. The action does not hold open with a magazine in place, nor does it hold open after the last round has been fired. Please advise. Is this normal? Is there something missing from this Luger or should I just leave it alone.

Hi Paul, Welcome to the forum. Your gun was not manufactured with a hold open, although it may have been retrofitted with one. Before we go any further, you need to determine if this modification was carried out. I refer you to my post #4 in this thread, which will show you what to look for. Regards, Norm
