Still exploring my Luger experience...

For a weapon to be used in combat, I’m not impressed. I’d much prefer a good .45 revolver of some flavor if not the superior 1911. The old 1911 .45, it’s flat the tits when you can compare them side by side and shoot both. The Luger certainly is a wonderment and mechanical marvel. The safety was broken and luckily an “un-numbered” part on this early example. It’s the 11th made in the third run for the German military, dates to 1909. I found an in- numbered safety bar in Ohio for $20. Two YouTube videos later I confidently punched out the pin and replaced it. Since it was scattered apart like a Chinese puzzle I Q-tipped and lightly lubed it with some magic 21st century slick juice. Not a total cleaning but I was first in after a very long time. It sure is fun and Luger guys all seem pretty nice and helpful. Thanks again!
