Max2cam, it is firing JUST THE TOP of the Luger, NO FRAME! Unless it is a police model with a SEAR SAFETY, it will fire. The point is.....be damn careful when it is field stripped it can still kill you! Be safe out there and enjoy dem Lugers! Wont ya! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Thanks for the explanation. I won't try it.

One thing I like about the Luger is the way the extractor pops up when the chamber is loaded and the way the shiny safety bar on the side lets you know the position of the safety. Lots of thought put into these things.
