Luger Keeps Accidentaly Discharging?! Please Help.

Sounds like the sear only marginally locks the firing pin, so it's sensitive to shaking. Better leave it alone.

I had shooting range friends buying new 1911 or other pistols and spending effort and money replacing trigger, spring, sear, hammer, etc, etc, polishing this and that, the purpose was to "improve" trigger pull. Safety was thrown away. Weird enough, no law restricts that. I figured that I'd better go to range alone, for my own goodness.

I've never heard of anyone taking the safety out and leaving it out of a 1911, and it wouldn't effect the trigger anyway. I wonder what they were thinking. The safety blocks the sear, but only if it's engaged, otherwise there is no contact.
