Jim,
You do not have to dry fire a Luger to release tension on the firing pin spring. Instead of letting the toggle close by itself, ease it closed manually while holding the trigger (although it is obvious, this may only be done with an unloaded gun!). Alternatively, you can open a closed action by easing it back a half-inch or so and then lower while holding the trigger. This keeps the sear from engaging the firing pin.
