I shoot this M1900

http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=34747

an all-matching shooter purchased for that purpose. The pistol is a shooter because it very worn, significantly pitted in places has been refinished at least once and likely several times as the American Eagle is so worn it can barely be detected. So far I cannot report any part breakage. Round count is not high, less than 100 rounds over the past year. It accepts Fiocchi 93gr ammo just fine, in contrast to my 1906 AE which demands the longer and (I'm told) somewhat stronger Prvi Partizan ammo. Magazine is Mec Gar. The action has never failed to cycle correctly, it is tied with my 1936 all matching Mauser as my most reliable Luger. Bore is fair yet the pistol groups as well as any other pistol I shoot.

If I had a nicer 1900 I'd consider swapping out the small parts like extractor, firing pin, ejector, and left grip. I swap those parts on the relative rare occasions I shoot the all-matching '36.
