Cory,

Don't feel embarrassed in any way - you did the smart thing and asked questions.

Congratulations on your new Luger. There are good background documents on this site and elsewhere on the web.

The Luger is so unique in design, it takes some time to become familiar with them.

I'm taking a range officer safety program this weekend. We were asked to bring unusual firearms to the class for practice sessions, and I'm bringing a Luger since so few people have actually encountered one.

A couple of words of warning... First, it's possible to fire a disassembled Luger. When the receiver is off the frame, it will shoot just as well as when it's all together. Even easier, as the sear is exposed. Be very careful to verify that the chamber is empty before disassembling one. Second, Lugers are addictive. Be prepared!

Welcome to the forum!

Marc
