Shooter class Lugers are probably the best place to start, if you plan on shooting them.
Often, they only have one or two mismatched or replaced parts.

it's a well designed pistol and they usually hold up well for shooting if you don't use
over-powered ammunition. Most people recommend using a new Mec-Gar magazine,
because they work well and they are still in production ($40 new).

You will need to learn how the weapon functions and how to take it apart.
Field stripping the pistol is fairly easy with minimal tools. A loading tool is usually enough.

For ammunition, use a "target load" 115 gr FMJ from a reputable company,
(PPU and Winchester are reliable).
