Need a little help with 1937 S/42

When an empty magazine is removed? If so, that is NOT how they are supposed to work and your Luger may need some minor work or a part replaced.

The toggle should remain open if locked back on an empty magazine even if the magazine is removed. It should not close unless you pull back the toggle and let it go with either no magazine or a loaded magazine.

Let us know exactly what is happening under these conditions and we can better diagnose whether or not you have a problem... hopefully not.

regards,
