How reliable are Lugers?

Given ergonomics on the Luger and the absolutely terrible sights and follow-up shots, I'd sooner carry my C96 Bolo.
 
I like the Luger as a piece of history and an example of Rube Goldberg engineering put into practice. But I'll echo the comments above.

It's a gun from a parallel universe in which John Browning had never been born. Bad sights and trigger. The toggle action (see below) can also take some oomph to do its thing.

Here's my 1942 byf (Mauser) "Black Widow" (though Luger purists hate that term). Bet this gun could tell some stories. Problem is, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to hear them.
