Shooter vs. Collector piece

Dwight,
That survey was interesting as well as new to me and very informative. I can add a small bit of personal experience. I seldom fire my Lugers, but sometime back I jointed a friend on the range for a few rounds. Just as luck would have it, after firing the first magazine the toggle remained closed. I thought there was something wrong with the mag, but after further examanation, I discovered the holdopen latch had been sheared off. Unbelievbly, Tom had a original holdopen in stock with the correct number.
