There are only two things that can go wrong with a gun when you use it, wear/damage to the finish and failure/breakage of parts.

They don't say don't shoot a matching Luger because of risk to the finish, because a broken part is much worse for the value.

Damage to the finish will reduce the value, but its still a matching Luger, just a little more "worn". Break a part, and its never again a matching Luger.
