They do work good for that. Put up a big silhouette target and run a couple
mags through at it and you will find most are in the kill zone. Love me some
Lugers. Hard to find a pistol more fun to shoot.

You got it wrong Tex.
They were not designed for that. They are very accurate pistols intended for downing an enemy at about 50 yards, way before he is breathing on you.
All lugers have adjustable sights, you can drift the front sight for windage (very helpfull if you are playing around with different loads), and elevation can be dealt with changind the front sights.
For close up and personnal. I much prefer the .45 1911. Go figure.
PS. The remedy for old eyes (and I'm on the same boat now), is called optometrist, make sure you get a good one and preferably one that is also a shooter. Forget progressive lenses. Use correction for shooting only, never go to your optometrist without a pistol, take the one with the worst sights.
