edit: just wanted to clarify i want to the range for the first time to shoot the luger. i go to the range all the time to shoot my kimber

what a fun gun. i can tell this is going to be a love hate relationship though. when it was shooting it was like an orgasm in my hand. but i had some feeding problems. mainly me not snapping the receiver back quick enough. it loaded fine about 80% of the time. a couple things i noticed though. the feedramp could use some polishing though, just doesn't seem to be up to the quality like the feed ramp on my 1911 kimber custom target is. firing it though was beautiful it was a really really smooth gun, loved the action, great sound, easy trigger pull. i'm sure most of the innacuracies are with me and not the gun. just too many variables this first time out to really concentrate on accuracy. i was just trying to enjoy it, get used to it and make the pain in my thumbs go away lol

1. i could only get 5-6 rounds in the magazine. i have to giant blisters on my thumb from trying to push the thumb thing down on the mag. i couldn't just load one after another without pushing down on this. i never had a jam during firing though. it was always just trying to get that first damn round chambered.

2. is the receiver supposed to lock up after the last shot? because after the last round was fired the receiver would close like it had chambered another round.

i shot 50 rds of winchester at 25' and 50rds of some other stuff in a yellow box that looked older than dirt at 50'. the gun was very accruate. i'm sure i could have deon a lot better. but it was new and i was cussing my thumbs with no skin most of the time.
