By inserting 1 snap cap (of the right caliber) into a magazine inserted into your luger would that relieve all of the pressure off of the hold open spring.?
I am thinking of storage here, after decocking the empty luger as per FAQ instruction and inserting an empty mag, the hold open spring would be stressed and stay that way until the mag is removed. The snap cap should relieve that, I know the mag spring would have pressure on it but I don't think 1 dummy round would be as much of an issue.
Why is the hold open spring the most broken part.?
