Luger Strength

Thanks for the replys, but I guess I wasn't clear enough in my question. As with any antique, I'm careful about what I shoot, and Luger's are no exception, I'm not about to compromise my $1,500 collectable with some hot carbine ammo.
What I was getting at in my original query was how the Luger strength was overall. Say compared to the other pistols of the time. Sure, it was stronger than a Broomhandle, but how would it compare to a Colt 1911, or a Steyr Hahn? Was the toggle a strong design, or did it have any major weakness? I always thought it was pretty strong, but lately I've heard it wasn't so hot.
That's what I want to know.
