If the gun is new to you, have it checked by a competent gunsmith before shooting it. Use Winchester White Box ammo, which seems to give the best results for most Lugers. Don't carry it around with a round in the chamber, as the whole safety-sear-trigger mechanism is a bit Rube Goldberg-ish and not 100% trustworthy. Make sure the magazines are in good condition, as any damage to the lips or to the magazine catch ledge will cause stovepipes and jams.
