How do I decock a Luger?

I've been warned against dry firing a luger pistol due to the old firing pin possibly being brittle. that being the case, how should I decock it?

Thanks, vern

Vern, pull the toggle up until it just breaks. Then pull and hold the trigger as you gently let the toggle go bact to battery. Kinda like a Mauser rifle.
