Congrats...Now the hook has been set, and there WILL be others to keep this one company!! Let us know how it shoots when you get it to the range. Stick with std. velocity RN ammo in 115-124gr bullets. Enjoy.

Is the take down tool needed or is it similar to the 1911 take down tool that really isnt needed unless the gun is very tight or has some corrosion?

Not for take down, a screwdriver is as good, or better.

For loading magazines - yes, it is a useful tool, and a repro works fine for this at $6 unless you want to spend $50 or more for an original - "just because".

If I had a original Luger I might shell out the extra money for original tool. I picked up a repro with stamps off ebay for $10, just because. It can sit with my 1911 bushing tools.

How about aftermarket mags? Which ones work well for 9mm?
