Hello M38,

When a luger is cocked, pull back the toggle knobs about 1/2" or so. Hold the toggle open this 1/2" or so and then you can pull the trigger to decock the gun without needing to dry fire...

...pull the toggle up so the breechblock withdraws about half an inch until the mainspring resistance is felt. Then allow the breechblock to move forward while pulling the trigger - thus the gun is uncocked. Works great.

I copied that from the old forum, from a post that Jim Van Eldik did.

Thanks Jim!
