I usually go to the range at least once or twice a week (not with Lugers though), if we were talking about dry firing a GLOCK I would say don't worry too much, but we are talking about a vintage Luger.
Modern metallurgy has enabled engineers to produce stronger steel, but especially vintage guns like yours were not really designed for dry firing, so why should you take any risk?
Snap caps allow you to fire nearly any weapon without risk of damage to your firing pin, or any other part of the firearm, so get yourself a set of snap caps, they are cheap and will help you to preserve an old gun that surely is not that cheap.
My 2 cents.

Regards

Sergio
