I think Lonnie, Edward and Marc have already given you some useful advices, I underline that would be essential to study the Luger world first.
To me Lugers breathe history and would be awful to use a collectible as a shooter at the range, still it depends on you and on what you are really looking for: a shooter to gain some initial experience or a nice collectible as some sort of investment...
Well if you were thinking about an investmeny I'd suggest you to look elsewhere, for investments get gold or shares, and for keepsakes buy Lugers. Lugers generally hold their values so one can make trades and sell/upgrade without losing too much money but they will never make any sense as investments.

If you look for a shooter you won't have to spend a fortune, even a mismatched Russian capture 1942 Mauser would do, but have it checked first by a serious gunsmith and remember that old Lugers should never be fired with modern high speed and high power ammunition.
In any case welcome to this Forum, good luck and shoot safe!
