I really appreciate all of the assistance. I can find online troubleshooting information and suggestions, schematics, you name it, down to the most minute detail, for a Garand. Or a 1911. But I'm having trouble locating the same depth of information for troubleshooting a luger!
Per nukem556's suggestion: Yes, the sideplate DOES indeed push away from the gun when the trigger is pulled. It opens a gap that I can easily stick a business card into. This sideplate movement seems to happen weather the pistol is cocked or not. Should the sideplate remain totally stationary while the trigger is being pulled? For what it's worth, I noticed that the trigger is a different number than all of the other marked parts.
Which direction should the sideplate tang be bent to provide the additional resistance, outwards (i.e. to the left) or inwards (to the right)?
Per DavidJayUden's questions: When I release the toggle from its upright position, it snaps all the way forward very smartly, and locks. Doesn't seem to make any difference which area of the trigger is pressed.
I am located in Boise, Idaho; if anyone could suggest a good luger 'smith located in the West. Thanks again.
