Thanks Jim. The Luger that I own is a 1917 DWM Artillary. It took me about a year to find the entire rig. Holster and board stock along with the tools. I also have a 2nd issue 'trommelmagazine' along with the loading tool. 32 rounds! It's tricky to load but once you get it down it's not too bad. I haven't had much of a problem with rounds catching or misfires but I think there is much to what you say about their inherant weaknesses. Mine shoots beautifully on the range and is super accurate. I agree with you that it wouldn't be my choice for dependable protection though...in that case my option would be for a shotgun. Probably something along the lines of an Ithaca Burglar Gun. Short and nasty.
