Louis,
I bought my first Luger here on the forum less than three months ago. Maybe I'm still on the "honeymoon" but I do get a lot of satisfaction from my pistol.
What I did in the beginning was take it down (apart) just a little more each time. That way I became more and more familiar with its construction and assembly.
I also got a can of "Breakfree CLP" and a supply of Qtips. Every time I would take the gun apart, I would clean out the nooks and crannies that hadn't been cleaned in many years.
If you take off the grips, BE REALLY CAREFUL! Don't try taking the grips off until you've seen the video on youtube or have read how to do it on the forum. I bought and installed a set of plastic grips that I keep on the gun (which I eventually intend to take to the range). For the time being, the original grips are "safe" in the safe.
Keep reading the forum. You have no idea the depth of knowledge that these guys have.... You'll learn stuff that you can't find in books!
Dave in TN.
