As far as quality goes, there is nothing lacking in these pistols. However, I too, am not enthralled with the grip safety. I find that it takes a conscious effort to depress this safety in order to free the trigger. It requires a distinct squeeze to disengage the safety. With the 1911 pistols the grip safety is depressed without even thinking about it. For this reason I would only use my postwar Luger for recreational shooting, as I could never really rely on it for protection with a clear mind. However, these pistols are worth the going price if purchased under $700, and should at least retain their value indefinitely, with a possibility of eventually becoming collectible.
