I have only fired one of my lugers once! It was my last and maybe the rarest, a 1914 DWM Artillery #1263. When I told George who sold me my gem, he admonished me as its a 10K luger which I should never chance it. He sent me a beautiful top shelf shooter with an Austrian barrel and a "HAENEL SCHMEISSER" magazine. PS Shooting my first, the DWM artillery was awesome!! Thank You My Hero!

I took my first and oldest Luger (like I bought it last April ) to the range once. I had a blast, or so to speak! Its an all matching, except the mags, 1939 Mauser.

I put 40 rounds through it like it was a red headed step child. I shot it with complete abandon. I mean I only paid $1200 for it and so I wouldn't lose much if it blew up. OK, well maybe a finger or two. If I did blow it up, then I would be down to only one Luger, my all matching 1942 Mauser. I might have to change my name to "Four Finger Eugen".

Lastly, I plan to shoot my 1942...some day.

Eric,
You had better send the 1914 Art'y to me for safe keeping; you may get the urge to shoot it again!
