Reload Warning...

And remember when you buy a Luger and want to fire it, get it checked out before you do. Firing a Luger with a weak main spring MIGHT crack the rear toggle and firing a Luger with excessive head space MIGHT cause the case to rupture sending gas back into the breech block and breaking off the small tab of metal in the block that keeps the firing pin retainer in place, lost a breech block and the result might now be an injured shooter and the lost of a matching breechblock. Buy a vented firing pin also to help prevent the damage to the breechblock on Lugers you intend to shoot.
It is much easier to be safe before you fire it, than be hurt ,physically and financially afterwards.
