Avoiding dry firing

Don M,

I am not sure because I don't own a Luger with a sear safety, but I believe that if you pull the toggle back and then ease it forward until you feel the resistance of the sear against the firing pin surface, you should be able to pull the trigger at that point and safely lower the firning pin without the sear safety engaging and preventing you from doing so.

I am sure that everyone who owns such a Luger that reads this will try it and report back so we all will know if this is possible...

Thanks for a great mechanical engineering question...
