Greetings-

I do know the difference between a Shooter (SC) and a collectable luger (CL).

My small brain tells me that breaking a matching part on a CL now renders it a SL... I also have heard the arguement about wear and tear on shooting matching P.38s, K98s, and P.08s.

Yet, the question remains: Is the Luger, which is a finely crafted machine and built to be shot, fragile enough that it may suffer a mechanical failure if occassionally shot today?? Second, where is failure most likely to occur??

In science, we normally use > 5% as a rejection level. I guess if I knew such a failure is likely at >5% I would not consider shooting a CL!!

Thanks for your opinion in advance...Bob
