Uncocking a Luger

Well, I finally gave it a try, it worked great!

I can see why you would not want to do this with a
round chambered!

Years ago, the first AD I ever saw was with an
American Eagle .30 cal. Luger. A friend had got
it on a trade and showed it to me. I pulled the
Mag which contained five rounds. I gave it back
to him as I was no Luger expert. He pulled back
on the toggles which slipped from his hand. Since
he had his finger on the trigger (Never a good
idea when checking a firearm!) the luger did what
it was designed to do! At least it was pointed
in a safe direction!

That sure got my attention!
