New Luger owner any tips?

Do not use direct sunlight for your pictures. It causes deep shadows and bright areas that hide details. Open shade or a cloudy day are best.

The grips are Russian made replacements. Coupled with the side plate cut for a sear safety, it's likely that your Luger is a Russian Capture. The Russians often dip blued the Lugers before selling them and if yours has been re-blued, that's how it appears to have been done as I see no evidence that anything has been buffed. All the edges are sharp.

However, it looks good and obviously shoots well if you put 50 rounds through it without a failure. IMO you have a WINNER!!
