Is my Luger jammed?

[Enoch]

Just wanted to get back to everyone re: my plans and will then post again (probably Monday) with the results.

I'm going to execute Mr. Wood's & Mr. Sabato's suggestion re: employing penetrating oil, waiting overnight and then applying a little extra oomph to swing the safety lever. I have a feeling that's the problem and that with adequate lubrication I'll be able to correct it (let's hope so anyway). I'm not going to take the grips off until I'm confident the other method doesn't work. Can anyone please recommend an oil that doesn't cost a million dollars and that I don't have to order on-line? Preserving the gun is my paramount concern though so if I need something expensive that has to be ordered, so be it.

Lastly, how does one go about "officially" thanking someone on this message board? There're a couple gentlemen here whose kind assistance I'd very much like to acknowledge.
