How can I safely pull trigger after cocking?

12-30-2001, 11:34 AM

I need some help. I just acquired my first Luger, a 1915 DMW. First I pulled back the cocking lever. When I went to release it forward I squeezed the trigger at the same time I slid the lever forward thinking this would keep the trigger from cocking like on my 98K when I close the bolt. But, after I did this and squeezed the trigger I got a dry fire. What am I doing wrong? Any help from you pros would be greatly appreciated.
