Sounds to me as though you will "need" two(2) Lugers. (1) for fondling and looking at, (1) one for the range= 2 Lugers. Lugers tend to multiply in many folk's safes anyway.
If you want to shoot your Luger and have no remorse if an extractor, breechblock, etc. breaks, then own a nice good shooter. I have shot mine over the years quite a bit(regularly), and have broken 2-3 extractors, and one breechblock. These guns are old, some over 100 years, and there is no determining if/when a part is going to break.....but it can/does happen.
Perhaps you should focus on a nice clean shooter, and enjoy and learn about it while shooting it. The "Luger Bug" will likely bite, and you will want at least one more. It happens fairly regularly.
