Interarms Luger works fine. The pinned grip panels could be a little bit troublesome, but that's a design issue, not a manufacturer quality control issue. And that can be avoided with a little bit preventive measure (for example, put a wide rubber band around the grip can prevent breaking the pin hole inside the grip, and also disable that grip safety). I tested fired a 9mm sample 20 years ago -- an Interarms Luger and a Portugal assembled High Power Browning, both were bought NIB, even Browning jammed once in the range, but that Interarms with Swiss style straight grip worked perfectly without any failure.

Does anyone have pics of these??? I have not come across any reference of this before and would be very interested in seeing pics.

I recollect that they had straight screw cutouts rather than the curved WWI/WWII grips, but where are the pins???
