To shoot, or not to shoot my WW2 Luger

As I've said on this subject before, I shoot all my Lugers. Matching guns all. But when I take one to the range, I remove the extractor and firing pin and replace those with mismatched spares. Then when I get home to clean it, the originals go back in. That way, I don't risk those 2 most commonly broken parts.

I have two shooter grade Lugers and shoot'em like I hate'em. I can get my Luger "fix" with less anxiety. But, I have shot a few mags in my collectors. The temptation was too great. It's all their fault. They made me do it.
