Hello and questions, questions, questions

Lugers are not fragile at all, but common sense tells you to avoid using modern
high speed and high power ammunition because some older guns might have become structurally unsound.
Enjoy shooting you Luger but shoot safe.

Guys thanks again for all the info. I will likely be bouncing some possible buys off of you in the near future. My search will be for a gun that functions well and looks presentable rather than a matching number gun. I dont think im ready for a "collector luger" at this point. My draw to the Luger is the mechanical and machining aspect and to a lesser degree the history. As for investment purposes, guns are not likely to be the model I use. Real estate and IRA or even gold/silver IMO is the way to go. My search will be or an honest seller of a mismatched Luger. Plenty of sellers want to sell a "Rare" pistol that is actually a mismatched shooter.
