Rhuff: Very true.
The Mec Gar mag I have for my shooter has been faultless so far. I have two Lugers right now, a collector 1917 DWM all matching including grips and 1 mag- that gun I don't shoot.

My shooter is a 1918 DWM, reblued, a beautiful gun, which WAS all matching until I broke the holdopen the other day.

But... I bought it to shoot, and shoot it I will!!

At heart I am more a shooter than a collector, although I do very much appreciate the value of collecting those special collector pieces, which, in my opinion, should not be shot. (Collector, IMO, = original finish, all matching, "pretty close to original factory condition")
Once a part in an all matching gun breaks, it breaks, and the gun is compromised. A pity really. As one person aptly said, "They just ain't makin' these things no mo' "

BUT, it's WONDERFUL to have shooters to SHOOT!!

JMHO. I know... now I'm rambling....
