As I was cleaning my P08 long barrel yesterday, I noticed something amiss. When I pulled the toggle back a half-inch and heard the click, I tested the trigger. Nothing. No click, just a back and forth motion against the spring. My other Luger clicks, the trigger engages and when pulled, simulates the firing procedure. The same thing happens with the empty magazine in, as it does with no magazine. Clearly, something is not right here. The last time I fired it, it was fine, and I cannot recall the trigger failing to engage before. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be causing this? Or is it not unusual for the trigger not to function absent a magazine and a chambered round?

Many thanks to all of the terrific folks wo have made this forum a real pleasure for a newbie.

Regards,

Mark
