De-cocking a luger

Does anyone know how to decock a WW1 luger artillery without doing any harm to the firing pin?

I'm sure there are better explanations than mine, but when you manually lower the toggles to the down position, pull the trigger and keep it pulled once you have about half an inch or so to go. That will ease the firing pin into the "fired" position.

Just make sure you don't have a live round in the chamber!
