Don, almost seems like you're kidding or baiting the forum
There are guys who shoot their lugers and there are guys who collect and don't shoot them and there are some who do both and some who own both. I have always found it a bit odd when "shooters" act like non-shooters are
.
There are 10's of thousands of lugers in the USA; so there are lugers that can be found for $450 (beat up or not best of shape and maybe nickled, to shooter grade (most are priced around $650-$750), and then up in price, with most collectable guns being $1000-$1800. If you take your $1800 luger out and shoot it and break a numbered part, you are now the owner of a shooter luger (for most parts of the gun and for most collectors). A broken numbered part gun will
never bring the value it had; so, no, I don't shoot my collectable lugers...
