To **** the fireing pin on a Luger takes very little pull back, about one half to three quarters of an inch from the breech face. If it was pulled back far enough to discover the hold open then that certainly should **** the weapon.I have discovered, in my later years, that this is a common problem. Lugerdoc and Thor seem to believe it is the connecting lever in the sideplate not travelling far enough back into it's recess to enable the sear bar to re-ingage with the step on the fireing pin.
