Strange Luger Shooting Incident - SOLVED

Luke · 04-17-2006, 04:22 PM

Shot 40+ rounds in my favorite Luger this afternoon without incident.

Then, the next round loaded properly; but when I pulled the trigger nothing happened.

I recycled manually with the same result: The round loaded properly but pulling the trigger did not cause the gun to fire.

At that point I unloaded the gun and carefully inspected it for problems. I noticed that the sear spring was missing ! I searched the ground where I had been firing and found the spring . . . apparently not damaged in any way. I reassembled the gun, but did not fire it again.

I have never had this happen before with any Luger. Can anyone offer a possible explanation and/or resolution for the problem?

Thanks,
Luke
