shooting the imperial lugers

If you are shooting a *nice* Imperial era gun and wish to minimize downside risk of damage, replace the following original parts with modern replacements:

1. Springs as noted
2. Fluted firing pin as noted
3. Extractor
4. Ejector
5. Grips

Be certain to use correct ammo; you start shooting that hot Czech subgun ammo and you will beat your pistol to death quickly. I would use off the shelf commercial loads, mid range, avoiding the sooper dooper loads as well as the under powered factory Winchester/Remington/Federal stuff; it just doesn't have enough oomph to make the toggle cycle crisply.
