The price is decent if the gun is functional. The youngest original Luger is going to be about sixty plus years old. They are like high maintenance women: Its easy to spend a lot more on them than what you get. They have very close tolerances and can be a real pain to get functioning properly. The mainspring will most likely need to be replaced. Also the magazine spring. Disassembly/assembly is different than from any other gun. Its not difficult but requires a little attention and practice. Several small parts in there. The overall length of a round for a luger is longer than other 9mms. I can shoot whatever 9mms in my Browning High Power, P38s, Radom,ect that will jam immediately in the Luger. I started loading all my 9mms to the Luger round length and have had no problem. The luger, when functioning with good springs, favors a markedly more powerful 9mm than the others. If I were to get a shooter luger, first thing I'd do is clean it throughly, replace the magazine spring, then try it with a standard 9mm round. No magazine, just chamber the round and fire it. If it ejects, cycles, and locks up good then I'd put five rounds in the magazine, insert, (don't slam mag in, will screw up mag lips) and insure its locked in tight. Pull toggle back, all the way, then release. If round chambered and toggle locked, pull trigger. If it ejected and chambered next round then you have been fortunate. Mecgar makes the best replacement magazines, the Finnish milsurp 9mm is the best off the shelf ammo but handloading is best. They do not like lead bullets or any type of hollowpoints. I have a 1918 Erfurt that I had restored (cost as nuch as the gun) and it is 100% reliable. Great shooters, great history.
