I don't think any of my matching parts are going to break anytime soon with firing.

The joy of owning a Luger P-08 (to me) is the firing. They are extremely accurate compared to the Beretta M-9 in 9mm as well as the Hi Power Browning in 9mm as well as the Czech 75-B or Czechoslovkian before the "B" model of CZ 75.

I like 9mm autos and I've had quiet a few since the 1970's. Even the SW 59 and 39.

My opinion is shooting a P-08 is more fun than shooting most other 9mm semi autos made today or yesteryear. There is another 9mm I have that I enjoy, the SIG P210. I enjoy the Hi Power and the P-38s along with the CZ-75 and Beretta M-9.

On the other hand, I'd like to own and collect more P-08s at this time that I would not fire because I already have enough firing P-08s and others to feel fine shooting just them.

My next endeavor might not be an S/42. It might be a .30 Luger P-08 to shoot a couple of times and put away!

I think you are swaying me to really dive into some rare P-08s but at least I am admitting it now.
