I know the reasons to shoot and the ones not to shoot a prize Luger (to me all Lugers are prize). However, I could not help myself--I had to fire it. Pistol is DWM commercial, 30 cal, about 1926 year made with 90% blue. I have never fired a 30 cal Luger before. Man, this one was smooth with hardly any recoil. It cycled perfectly and was a real joy to shoot. My son and I put about 20 rounds down range, but it is now being cleaned and put away.
I cannot help but marvel at the precision of the Germans in making the Luger pistol (and P38s). It seems to be more an art instead of just firearms production. Anyone else shot a 30 cal Luger with the fear of breaking something, thus reducing its value, but had to fire it anyway?
