The Luger barrel, which was rigidly fixed to the barrel extension and carried the front sight, provided excellent accuracy. Assembling the gun using a sideplate from another pistol, for example, may prevent the sear from working, making the pistol inoperable. The design requires hand fitting of certain parts for proper operation. Luger pistols were manufactured in Germany and Switzerland to very close tolerances and exacting standards using the highest quality materials of the day, and original pistols were known for having a long service life.
