Safety questions

[ronin]

I'm new at this, as green as you can get. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

May somebody explain a few gray zones i still have that really disconcert me?

The safety lever in my Luger raises and lowers a bright metal part that then becomes visible on the left side of the upper / assembly. That part follows the general lines of the grip angle and points forward. As seen on the gun pictured at the home page.

I see that in other models the rising part points to the back of the gun and seems to be almost touching a thinner blued part that is either shorter on non existant in my gun. Can someone shed some light on this for me, please?

Next, I do not understand EXACTLY how do i do this (disassembly instructions).
" 4. Hit the frame with the rear of the screw driver to get the Safety Catch out.". Looks simple and dumb; i understand enough to know what it means but i would like someone to treat me like the real confessed idiot that I am <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
, just for a few seconds, and tell me how hard to hit, if something is bound to happen when i do so and if the safety is to slide out or which way to push / pull / etc. so i'm able to remove it.

I know most of you can dissasemble the gun probably with both hands tied behind your backs and your tongue nailed to the wall and still do it under 10 seconds. My gun is crappy enough as it is, i would rather not cause it any more trauma if it can be avoided by asking the right question.

I humbly bow my head to thy and gratefully accept whatever wisdom you may generously dispense on me.
