And one other thing: don't be concerned that the old pencil in the barrel test did not produce the result you expected. That works in a Model 1911A1 style pistol where the firing pin has unrestricted travel, but it won't work in a Luger where the striker and the breech block only let the pin protrude just enough to ignite the primer; not far enough to propel the pencil.
