My old shooter is limber so I just press the barrel with my left hand and flick down the takedown lever. But my 41 byf is so stiff I usually field strip it by pulling back the toggle over an empty magazine to lock the toggle then remove the magazine and turn the take down lever. Then lower the toggle before removing the side plate then receiver.
Man I'd sure hate to break a takedown in the Luger; I hope you figured out a way to safely get the shaft out, Steinar!
