When is enough enough?

Been thinking, ya'll, (I know, that's not good for me) but when do you stop shooting a Luger? When is it worn out? When is it not safe? Firing pins go with hard primers rupturing breech blocks, ejectors break, breech blocks crack, frames crack, toggle link pins break, toggles break & crack, grips split, hold opens wear out, locking nuts wear out, magazines don't feed correctly, magazine releases wear out, ect. At best these guns are 60 years old. How many items with the complexity of a Luger do we see in its intended use sixty years after the last date of manufacture?
