Unless the diameter of the bore has been decreased by a buildup of rust and debris, there is no danger in shooting a Luger with a pitted bore. When I was a kid I hunted with an old 25-20 Winchester '92 that had a bore that looked like a plowed field. Not only did it not blow up, I could bark a squirrel with it.
