I love Lugers, but to carry one with your life depending on it is sheer folly....even if you have a rare one that's 99-100% reliable, the ergonomics are terrible. The safety is slow and unnatural to disengage, and the sights are too small and fine to acquire a sight picture. I've shot enough tactical matches to know if you cant clearly see the front sight, you can totally MISS a target at 10 yards. If you have to carry a vintage 9mm in defense of your life, get an Inglis Hi-Power
