Upper Receiver alone can fire!

This has been known for many years.

Anything is possible.

Although the sideplate is designed to cover and protect the sear bar, any object small enough or sharp enough to come in contact with, and depress the sear bar will release the firing pin. Unlikely? Yes. Impossible? No.

This is one of my arguments against carrying a Luger for self protection.

Yes this is very true. I know someone who had an accidental discharge...having the gun cocked wasn't a bright idea

I did this once and on purpose!! I started out with a load just strong enough to get the bullet out the barrel, then I used a towel wrap over the cannon that was in my shooting hand and yep, it fired, then increased the load until I got to a full load, then I stopped and decided I did not want to do it again. I read it once in a spy book and had to try it, I DONT RECOMMEND IT! Read about it here!
