This will horrify some forum members, but I disassemble my Lugers thus:
Make sure the gun is REALLY unloaded
With the gun in your right hand, press muzzle against your left outstretched palm, the palm pushing the muzzle inward, while simultaneously rotating the takedown lever with your right thumb. Release pressure on the muzzle and the gun is ready to have the side plate removed and broken down.
The reason I do it this way is that I have seen too many guns slip on "non-marring" surfaces and end up with scratched muzzles or barrels, if not altogether dropped in the process. By cupping your left palm while applying pressure on the muzzle you make it virtually impossible for the gun to slip or go anywhere during the take-down process.
I know some people may state that this is physically uncomfortable but I am still young enough to not mind the wear and tear on my palm!
