I agree, I've got several all matching DWM 1900s but personally would NEVER take any of them to the range.
Vintage collectible pistols in my opinion should NEVER be shot, I don't think even delegating them as "special occasion" guns, if shot, there is a chance of probability that something could break, and when that happens one no longer has a nice vintage Luger but just a box of Luger parts, it takes only one cartridge to destroy a gun but there is no way to predict which cartridge will be the last one.
My 2 cents.
