Want a hunting Luger....

Ron Smith · 04-04-2010, 03:15 PM

Hi Tom,

Welcome to the forum. I built my own .30 shooter. I've had a couple of the Interarms guns, neither was very reliable or accurate. If I wanted one off the shelf, I would go with a DWM Alphabet Commercial (AKA "1920 Commercial"). They are available from several on-line dealers as well as Gun Broker. Most will have the standard 3 7/8" barrel, but occasionally a 6" barreled one will show up. Vlim is right, these are also usually cheaper than the Interarms guns.

Or, get an Alphabet Commercial and have a 6" after market barrel installed. We have a couple of members who could do it for you at a reasonable price.

Here's an example at Simpson Ltd. Prices will run from $600 to $1000+, often cheaper at local shops and gunshows.

Coincidentally, one of our other members posted a pic of a varmint Luger just last week...and it was relatively inexpensive...

Thanks for all the suggestions. A local shop has a 1920 Commercial in clean shape with an excellent barrel for $750. I'll most likely pick it up tomorrow. Will post shooting results when I find out what she'll do.

Sorry guys, but I blew the deal by being a bit late. I work nights and sleep days so I didn't get back to the shop until late afternoon. Someone had walked in off the street and bought the piece about an hour before my arrival. The hunt continues!
