Hi John,

Is the Luger an all matching pistol, or was it put together from parts?

The fit of the trigger plate, trigger lever, trigger and sear is a precision job for an experienced Luger gunsmith. This is why they were numbered parts...

First thing I'd check is the amount of pressure needed to release the sear, and how far in the sear bar has to be pressed to do this. Check for any play at the fulcrum of the sear bar. Forward/back, in and out, side to side...

Second, I'd ensure that the little plunger at the front of the sear bar is working properly. Check it to see if it's sticking in any way.

Third, I'd take a close look at the trigger plate, trigger lever and trigger itself to see it's condition and verify that it's tight and flat to the parts it mates with.

Pictures of the parts may help if you can post them...

Marc
