Family WWI Souvenir; DWM 1915 Luger

Texas Red · 07-07-2013, 03:31 PM

I ran several magazines of fmj ammo through it about 25 years ago to confirm that it was functional. It is. After cleaning it and giving it a detailed stripping, putting that thing back together again is a task I don't care to repeat.

I doubt that I'll shoot it again. My son might when he gets it, just to reconfirm functionality. Otherwise, it's in retirement.

Good decision on setting that very nice Luger aside as part of your family's history, it's a great looking piece and cannot be replaced. If the urge returns to fire it again you might want to consider buying a decent "shooter" Luger, they can sometimes be had from other forum members and at a very fair price, all you need do is ask if you don't see one listed.
