Shooting a Collector Grade Luger

Bob, Shooting a collectable is likely to damage the grips if nothing else. I was shooting a shooter at the range the other day, it had (past tense) a great pair of grips untill the sliver from the safety area broke off and landed on the web of my hand. Like Wes says, shooting these things wears them out. I love to shoot but some of the pistols I pick up are an investment only and I save those and shoot one's just like them that are shooters. There is a difference.Same goes for holsters. I would never take an investment grade collector holster out to the range. I have many others that will serve for that duty. Why ruin a good one?
