To shoot, or not to shoot my WW2 Luger

Another option is to buy a spare toggle train. Swap the toggle train and remove the hold open latch when you want to shoot your Luger. Most of the numbered parts that are likely to break will not then be at risk.

Mines are guns, made to shoot, collectibles or not.

I shot my 1906, 06 Parabellum few times.

Of course I would not shoot thousands of rounds with it, but a few rounds from time to time.

But to shoot more I bought a 06/29 a month ago.

Guns are made for shooting. I will never buy one that I would be too afraid to use for fear of breaking something.

Of course some of the older ones have very very limited use.

A non shooting gun is a way to expensive paperweight for me.

Couldn't resist either.
