Thanks, Aaron. Is this meant to be generic good advice, which I believe it is, or is your comment meant to imply that I've purchaced an inferior Luger?

If I do have an inferior gun, that's okay. At my age I won't be collecting a lot of Lugers, so it seems to me that by trading for this one, even though it's not a collectible, would fall into the realm of learning. I will learn a lot from this one and from reading topics on this forum. Those two things, plus perhaps finding that 'mentor' you mention, should lead me in the right direction when I make that next acquisition. At least, that's what I hope will happen.

In any case, I am appreciative of any and all comments and advice.
