Alright, kurusu, I did it that way! Heck, and I have small hands, too. When I read the procedure, I thought, no way can I do that. But, I struggled with it a while and finally was able to position my hand in a way to garner some rearward torque. Voila!

Thanks for sharing and providing photos.:cheers:

Having said that, it is so much easier when I'm at my shop bench to simply press the barrel down against the bench. :D

The bad thing about the Luger is that you don't want to disassemble it it the field, chances are that you will lose the side plate or the rear toggle axle...

Thanks for sharing, personally I disassemble my Lugers only a couple of times a year to clean them inside, lube them and put them back in the safe, aaaaaaaaand since I'd be an awful mechanic I usually avoid to disassemble anything far away from a wide table.

It works!!

Kurusu, ok bud, it's all your fault. :)
I'm at my bench now and can't stop using my hands only to disassemble my two Lugers. I mean I think I've had 'em each apart at least three times now. I put them back together and do it again. This is a hoot to do. :roflmao: Somebody stop me!

Say to yourself. "I can stop whenever I want". That might work. :D

(Gunny alter ego) - You haven't done it often enough! Not by I long shot! Can you do it blindfolded in less than thirty seconds!!??? :evilgrin:

PS. Consider the gunny paragraph written in all caps. :D
