First post/First Luger/First problem

The pin isn't in the sideplate......its at the end of the long narrow bar (sear) running along the side of the receiver. Did the click only happen once, or can you cycle the toggle and it clicks every time now?
If you carefully study the animation of the Luger firing cycle on the home page of this site, you may be able to figure out the function.

Ok.....now it sounds like the trigger lever (the pivoting part on the back side of the sideplate itself) may be the problem. If the trigger is pulled hard back against the guard before it fires, the lever may be bent or the end that contacts that pin may be damaged. I know, hard to diagnose online!
