Is my Luger jammed?

You're going to need to familiarize yourself with at least the basic takedown and operation of the pistol in order to maintain it properly. Taking off the grips is safe and easy as long as you are aware of the tendency of the LH grip to crack off the little point behind the safety. Follow the good instructions already given. Taking off the grips is needed to prevent/treat any rust that may form under them, but is not needed to perform regular maintenance. I'm not seeing the possible minor chip referred to, but you sure don't want to cause one. I don't think any repair is called for either. If you don't want to do the work on it, the best thing is to let Mr. Sabato take care of it for you since you're in the same area.

Copy that. I guess at this point it's kind of moot anyway since that little tip has already cracked off. Is that the only danger re: removing the grips, cracking off that little tip or is there more? Also, what would you (or anyone else willing to comment) describe as basic maintenance that someone with great fear and no experience could successfully execute?
