my new luger and cleaning it

Sergio Natali · 01-03-2018, 05:01 AM

Very nice Luger congratulations!

I almost perceived your "enthusiuasm, and it's. great.

Everytime I get a new gun, especially a collectible I've got to disassemble it, clean it gently and lube it with BALLISTOL, in several decades now I've never had any issues.
I use chinese chopsticks to clean the bores of all my firearms, new 1911s included.

Best regards and Happy 2018!

thanks for all your opinions.....i plan on shooting it next week....i have heard all the advice not to shoot it and i am planning on being very sparing with shooting it....maybe once a year or less....i realize what a special gun i have and want to minimize the risk while still enjoying the gun....

how accurate are the iron sights? i see there is no adjustment....im curious if they shoot spot on or if ill have to adjust my point of aim

ive got a Walther P1.....im considering selling and getting a P38 to round out the collection....

May I make a suggestion ---
Keep the P1 and go out and find a P.38 to add to your collection. That way you will have an original P.38 , and it's cold War successor.
The money you get for the P1 will not buy but about 1/2 of a lower end but still nice all matching P.38 anyway , and the P1 can serve as your regular , no risk shooter as you preserve the matching WWII pistol.
That's how I would do it.
Better get back to Lugers ...
