Luger cool disassemble trick

[DonVoigt]

What ever works for you.

I find the "press against hard surface(or soft) works just fine; just because a surface is "hard" does not mean it will do any damage. The next step is quite often to further dis assemble the pistol, so having a "surface" to lay the parts on is helpful.

Besides, my hands are no longer strong enough to use the "one hand" method.

In that case I suggest the easy way. Use the benefits of the holdopen.

Hard surfaces sometimes are not readily available.

??? Table-top, Bench-top, wall, floor... they all seem pretty handy to me!

I suppose the guy next to you would object to using his helmet, eh?

He just might.

This area is not the time or place to dis assemble your pistol,
it is too late, nothing can be done it that environment.

Better to carry two or three weapons, JMHO.

Don't be coy! Just go over there and borrow that Tommy's helmet.

Alright, kurusu, I did it that way! Heck, and I have small hands, too. When I read the procedure, I thought, no way can I do that. But, I struggled with it a while and finally was able to position my hand in a way to garner some rearward torque. Voila!

Thanks for sharing and providing photos.

Having said that, it is so much easier when I'm at my shop bench to simply press the barrel down against the bench.

The bad thing about the Luger is that you don't want to disassemble it it the field, chances are that you will lose the side plate or the rear toggle axle...

You should have exercised that hand more often when you were younger...

That's just mean.

I "should" have done a lot of stuff, and not done other stuff!

I'm just happy to be around, those hard surfaces are abundant;
no use hurting my hand!
