Thanks for the reply.

Now that I satisfied myself that it will shoot, I probably won't fire it anymore.

I was careful to hold the take down lever in place when I fired it.

But what could I break if I fire it more? The firing pin? What if I procured a firing pin to shoot it with and saved the numbered part?

In my "shooter grade" Luger, I have broken an extractor, and a firing pin tip. I had non matching parts in it in case they were to break....and they did. These Lugers are old, and they can just break. If you want a shooter, then find a mismatched, chromed, refinished, poor condition Luger and shoot it to your heart's content.....many of us do that very thing.
