Shot my first Luger tonight

Thor's advice is absolutely correct. And is a primary cause of jams and "smoke stacks" ( empty case jamming vertically).

Also, another thing to keep in mind is that , Lugers like to be held with a stiff wrist. Most semi-auto pistols funtion better when fired with the wrist kept rigid. Rather than "limp wristing" or letting the pistol roll back under recoil. Revolver shooters, tend to shoot this way, as it cuts down on recoil slam to your hand. Most autos will not funtion well being fired in this manner.
