I shot my S/42 '37 model. Ran about a hundred rounds through her. No problems other than an occassional hick up. I will not shoot it again for fear that something will happen to it. I did replace the grips with aftermarket ones before shooting this Luger so that the originals wouldn't break. Now it sits in the safe with all its originals and no where to go.

That's the biggest problem with these as the absolute FEAR factor that accopanies these. The gun is worth so much in historical and dollar value that you are so afraid to shoot it. The FEAR factor will take all the fun out of shooting it, I PROMISE!!!!
