Should I "Plink" with my inherited Luger?

Hello everyone. I am 16 and enjoy the shooting sports a great deal. I usually spend a weekend at the range shooting for recreational purposes and informal competition. However I recently have pondered taking one of my WWI Lugers to the range with me and using it each weekend. I have shot it before and I must say it had an excellent feel to it. I also have an Artillery Luger from WWI with the wooden stock and leather holster and belt. I do not plan on shooting it because it is rusted and the grips are in poor condtion. I DO want to shoot the normal sized Luger. However, it is a family thing that was passed down. My grandfather seems to act like I should shoot it, being that is what a gun is used for. But I want to know if I could seriously affect the guns condition by shooting it about 1,500 rounds a year? Please thanks for all of the advice, thats how I learn more
