1937 Luger firing issues

I think we differ in opinion. Shooting any Luger is not "destroying" it. You may certainly impart some wear, but properly maintained, and with some precaution, the gun will far outlast the generations. It has a hole in the end of the barrel. That is where the bullet comes out. The Germans, the Swiss, and others, were not afraid of shooting their "all matching" Lugers. Nor am I. The subject Luger of this thread, a 1937 S/42, is not particularly scarce, or rare. Unless it had some unique aspect to it, it is by its very existence, a "shooter". I don't see myself going "somewhere else". I rather enjoy the forum, and the knowledge and kindness of the forum members. You are certainly welcome to PM me, and we can take this discussion off the board.

Well said gunbugs. A man's property is no ones business but his own.

Vlim I truly respect your knowledge and your opinions are as valid as anyone else's but they are just that, opinions.
Every member here has an opinion on every subject we discuss.
Often they will be opposite opinions.
Who is right ... Who is wrong ... Who really knows.
To each his own ... live and let live lest you be consumed with hatred.
I am passionate about my opinions sometimes too ... but that doesn't make me right.
