First luger - won't work - need help!

You can SLIGHTLY bend the tab on the sideplate that fits under the takedown lever outwards toward the takedown lever, not toward the receiver...to eliminate any play when installed... be careful...it takes very little bending... you may even find that the tab is not in the right position because some previous owner tried to improperly takedown the Luger by prying

but creating some tension on this tab to the takedown lever can eliminate the movement of the sideplate when you pull the trigger.
