Hi Darin,

Congratulations on your Luger. What is the family story that goes with it? Ed collects "bring back stories", and it's an interesting part of the history of these firearms.

This site has good reference material for maintaining your Luger. Start on our homepage or http://lugerforum.com/techinfo.html.

These were not designed for use with high power ammunition. Avoid anything marked "NATO" or "+P". It can't deal with the higher pressures. Use standard power FMJ 9mm Luger ammo.

These require a good grip and support during shooting to properly cycle.

Since the magazines are excellent and collectible consider getting a separate magazine for shooting. Perhaps a FXO extruded steel magazine or a MecGar.

Don't store your Luger inside the holster. Don't store magazines in the holster. Don't store the loading tool inside the holster.

Marc
