Newbie question on my first luger

It's yours to do with as you please. However, WW1 Lugers don't have the same metallurgy as modern guns and you will need to shoot standard ammo in it, (Winchester White Box from Walmart has a good track record with Lugers). Just remember that a broken part may as much as half your investment, not to mention ruining a unique piece of history.

You are better off borrowing a Luger to shoot. That being said, It would be horrendous luck to break something with only 20 rounds and most unlikely.
