Add to this discussion that the 1911 military issued DWM pistols are more rare. If it is truly collectable, it would be very sad (from both historical and financial points of view) to fire it and damage it in any way.

Really... if you want a Luger to shoot, get a mismatched one, or one with finish conditions.

And yes... they do regularly get damaged. Most recent, both a Luger and P.38 that "Blew up" in one range trip...
