Hold Open Protection.....

Hi Dave.
Nice you like the way your Luger shoots.
It would have been a pity if you had maybe numerous Lugers lying/hanging around and would never have known how they shoot.

One of the benefits of showing up at the range with a Luger is indeed that instantly you are the expert.

One thing however I don't fully understand.
The 'holdopen' is designed and built in to do just that; holdopen.
Why would you want to prevent it from doing so?

IMHO the speed from the returning bolt isn't that high when it reaches the holdopen because the bolt has just begun returning and thereby hasn't been able to build up speed.

Again, this is my very humble opinion; I could be totaly wrong on this one.

Peet.
