<strong>Before modifying trigger levers consider that if the lever does not go in far enough it will not trip the sear, but on the other hand, if it is in too far it will not allow the disconnector to work, so if you are off in either direction the pistol does not fire.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">As I review the sequence of events that take place when the Luger is fired, I don't see how the disconnector could fail to work unless the spring-loaded pin passed behind the lever. In that case, the pistol would be completely out of action as the lever couldn't return to it's passive position. I don't think the lever can possibly move inward that far inward, even if bent.
As the trigger is squeezed, the lever is pressed against the pin protruding from the front of the trigger bar and the pistol is fired, the receiver moves rearward under recoil and the pin slips from under the lever.
As the receiver moves forward during the load cycle, the spring-loaded disconnector pin contacts the side of the trigger lever and is pushed back into it's recess in the trigger bar. The pin is held in it's recessed position until the trigger is released, at which time the trigger lever goes back to it's rest position and releases the pin which then moves forward. Now the trigger, when pressed, will push the lever against the pin to release the firing pin once more.
That's how I see the sequence. Am I wrong?
