Looking for a shooter.

Lugers are a modern, high-quality, military-grade weapon made with the finest materials (German steel) available at the moment. That being said, it is useful to remember that they are 60-100 years old, sometimes hard-used, and closer to the end of their operational life than the beginning.

Lugers are by and large reilable, and under normal circumstances not dangerous. They will, however, occasionally show their age in annoying ways. Do a search for "broken parts survey" to give yourself a bit of advance preparation.
