Luger Dry fire

[MCNJ]

LD,

Thanks for the reply.
Seems I was not pulling the trigger far enough. There is a feel to it ( as I am used to a S&W 39) that it was at the end already. At least I know now how it feels. As I had said, I just picked it up the other day and just getting used to it. It is my 1st Luger.
Guess I have to get used to that trigger pressure,

There is one other thing I have some concern over. That is the rounds hand feeding out of the mag. It just does not feel smooth enough. In the S&W mag the rounds just roll out with your thumb. These seem to require quite a bit of force. almost like it jams. Also, the force required to get 6-7 rounds in a mag is high. Never got the 8th in.
Are these problematic??

Appreciate your helping

I wouldn't dry fire it a whole lot without a snap-cap in.
You might want to pick up a luger tool to assist with the loading. It does help with a stiff spring and repos can be had for under $20.00

I had the follower in my SA mag sticking and noticed the spring was binding on the side of the mag and there was a burr on the cutout area for the mag release once I correctly seated the mag spring and cleared the burr it worked much better.

Some mags only hold 7 rounds.

I would also suggest you pick up a mec-gar mag for range trips to save the original mag Mec-gars hold 8 rounds.

I have several and they work great.

Thanks.
Only dry fired 1x.......just checking the piece out.
And thats a good idea getting a new mag and save wear/tear on the originals.

I was unfamiliar with the tool........for this use ( new to these)

Appreciate it........

Leave the toggle assembly slightly up when the pistol is ready to dry fire. (like this ^) then when the pistol is fired it transfers the firing pin energy to the toggle when it straightens it out.
