Hi Rick

I think that your Luger seems a very interesting specimen, and even if it is a bit of a mix betwen a collectible and a shooter, it is quite a nice gun to keep.

As far as I'm concerned in my small collection I keep guns that I've never used at the range, where I prefer to go at least once a week for some IDPA with modern guns (mainly GLOCK, and CZ) that unike Lugers are just tools not items of veneration.

As an additional warning be careful as all these one century old Lugers should never be fired with modern high speed and high power ammunition because their steel might have become a bit structurally unsound.

Safe shooting.

Sergio
