Indoor range?! We don't have those out on the prairie. LOL
Heck, everywhere is a shooting range, except within my town (pop 6,000) and then that is frowned upon. I am glad I don't live in town.

alanint, I hear you regarding the brass ejection direction. That makes perfect sense, given the Luger's design. But, from my exceptionally limited experience, the brass on my Luger definitely sailed right and in one case almost 15 feet!?
