Personally, unless there was an issue in not striking the primer form the firing pin, I wouldn't worry about getting it out. Just squirt some WD-40 in there to keep it from gumming up ;)

Agreed.

"Patridge" sights. :)

Patridge sights, named after inventor E. E. Patridge, a 19th-century American sportsman, consist of a square or rectangular post and a flat-bottomed square notch and are the most common form of open sights, being preferred for target shooting, as the majority of shooters find the vertical alignment is more precise than other open sights. V-notch and U-notch sights are a variant of the patridge which substitute a 'V' or 'U' shaped rear notch.

A good FAQ on Patridge sights is at -

I'm sure it is just me, but at my arm's length I have a terrible time using that tiny V rear sight, and then once I center the front sight it disappears into a fuzz. I may have to try on some modified glasses to focus at arm's length. The Patridge sights do seem to make life easier, but I hate to deviate so far from original Luger pattern.
But if it was easy I guess everybody'd be doing it.

Guns & Ammo February Article Off The Press

Short, but favorable Article, by Pat Sweeny, on Lugerman's 1907 recreations.

He as impressed with the basic price $5,795 and the pistol's shootability with various ammo selections.

Good show!!

Guns & Ammo magazine article
 
I, too, enjoyed the referenced article about Lugerman's .45acp Luger. Would have enjoyed it more with a cover pic, and specific group measurements with different ammo. Anyway, it was some reward for this amazing accomplishment! :)
