First post/First Luger/First problem

Neil, it is repeatable. There doesn't seem to be a problem in that aspect except like I mentioned, the spring seems really stiff. It does not push and release the firing pin as easily as I would have thought. I'm still going to clean it out and oil things. The gun is bone dry and extremely clean, too. I wouldn't doubt if it wa soaked and air hosed.

I'm gaining a better understanding of how it works, especially being able to do searches with the terms you guys are using. And that led me to this: If I push on the sideplate it fires with normal pressure on the trigger. So my problem must be in the sideplate or the sideplate lever. Like I mentioned, it is not loose, but something needs adjusted. Or perhaps the channel the sear bar must fit in is not allowing the plunger to stick out as far as it should.
