Just Cracked a Rear Toggle!!!

[G.T.]

If your preferred load checks out ok, then inspect the main spring? Too weak, or pooched from time and use, will break rear axils? I'm sure rear toggles take a beating also with that issue?... best, GT...

You guys are making me nervous about shooting my antique pistols, specifically my lugers.

You should be nervous. This is a perfect example of why shooting a nice, matching, collectible pistol is a bad idea. The OP’s gun instantly became a mismatched shooter with appropriate devaluation.

That only matters if "collector value" is the only reason you buy Lugers. Now he can shoot it all he wants.

i agree, there are still readily available shooters on the market thats not going to take a hit if you need to replace something.
