OK heres my new update on my data. I got a digital fish scale and put an aluminum tie wire on the end to wrap around the toggle in the same location that Postino did. I clamped the grip of my gun to were the fron portion of ht egrip was at the 90 degree orientation from the table. Trying to pull with the scale parallel to the table as much as possible. I left an empty magazine in the gun so a had a stopping point once it clicked in the open position. My readings averaged around 10.5 to 11 lbs just before it cicked into the open position for the toggle.

Excellent!

Should we start a chart???

Or maybe a poll???

(You should not attach any significance to the angle of the Luger...I did it that way to get a good camera shot...And that was where the flats of the gripframe were...)
