So I'm about to inherit pic related from my late WWII veteran grandfather, he apparently found it on a dead German in the Bulge.
I have practically no experience with owning guns, and my time shooting has all been in the Boy Scouts (black powder rifles, .22 caliber rifles, shotguns, revolvers) so I'm pretty clueless.
What are some things I should know? How do I tell if it's safe to shoot, what kind of expert should I take it to? Will any 9x19 ammo work?
These are probably all some pretty stupid questions but I'm completely new to guns.
Winchester 115 gr whitebox works fine with them. I'd recommend keeping it in a good condition and just store it in a safe as a collectible.

Take it to a gunsmith for a check of safe operation. Learn how it works, how to strip and clean it.
Tidy her up, shoot if you want to, ensure that the gun is properly lubricated, protected and stored and don't you ever consider selling it.
Just don't do what this anon did to his grandfathers gun.

I also would strongly recommend not to use the cheapest, steelcased ammo and especially not high pressure rounds, if you want that gun to last!

if your going to shoot it use +p, the luger is designed to run hot otherwise get ready for jam city

Well, on the bright side - that guy did not deserve to own anything nice.

I now want to die.
Thank you

Here's the gun in the original state, before the fuckery happened. Apparently it's his dads gun and likely his grandfathers.
