Good Morning all.

I'm new to the forum and a new Luger owner. So after a recent unexpected acquisition of a Luger I thought I should get on this forum and charge up the learning curve. I've been reading for days and have followed a lot of advise. So to start I recognize the IMMENSE amount of experience and knowledge that I have the privilege to tap into. What a great country we have that we can pursue this hobby in peace!
Thank your anticipated patience right from the start.

If I can learn to load pics. I will send them in the future but for now it will be just text.

The Luger.
DWM, 1916, S/N XX58[/B] Black plastic grips. Stock lug. Mec-Gar mag. It has been reblued. The person who did it was mindful to not buff out the numbers or stamps, not a bad job overall. I've seen lots of Cops guns over the years that look much worse and are carried daily (sad!) The only serious pitting is under the grips which can't be seen with the grips on. All the parts that I can see are matching numbers. It has been rebarreled (pristine bore, there are importer marks on the underside) no other factory stamps. I replaced the grips(bad shape) with Altamont grips( Not bad for the price). Once I saw that the condition was good I took it to the range. What an amazing experience. Mag. had issues(would have failures to feed 4-7 rounds). I knew the mag was old and wanted another so when I got the gun I chance ordered a new Mec-gar it shot/functioned great. For me, shoots 2 in. high and just a tad left at 15 yards. What a fine 101 year old machine. I'm going to buy a set of wolff springs since I've no way to tell whats it it now, couldn't hurt right?
So I'm thinking what I have is a great shooter. I'm not a collector which is the reason I never had one of these but now I really understand, "bet you can't.... just one"!

Any thoughts?
Thanks.
