Every time you remove and re-install grips you risk chipping them if you are not careful.

Dropping a Luger on a wood part would likely damage it.

I expect many people change out parts including the grips to take them out to the range and shoot them.

But, I think a better approach is to have a Luger that you just use for shooting that already has lost it's collector value. I have a matching Mauser 1937 "42" code Luger with holster rash (pitting) on one side that I regularly shoot.
