You have a Luger that shoots well, has a good trigger pull and functions as it was designed to do. Unless you happen upon one of those rare Lugers which has just the right tolerences for everthing to function perfectly (and I have never owned one), there is going to be some trigger overtravel that must be let off in order for the disconnector to work. How much overtravel varies greatly. Since this is a shooter, you might want to consider installing a trigger stop screw. I seem to recall Hugh posting some instructions once upon a time in this forum on how to go about this modification. I would be really reluctant to try to modify the trigger lever, it is just too finicky an adjustment.

A post script: I just found jpegs of three pages from a 1974 issue of Shooting Times with detailed instructions for trigger pull adjustment. Maybe that is what I remember. Each of the jpeg images is over 700Kb and I am not sure what copyright restrictions apply so I don't know if I should post them in the Member Gallery or not. Opinions?
