Which Luger to carry?

As much as I love lugers I can not imagine carrying one for personal protection. To big to heavy and for me the wrong caliber. For carry give me my compact 45. Bill

I would use the one that never fails and has a good trigger pull. Not to light for accidently going off from being in a nervous situation and BANG!!!!!! and hope you meant to do it!

I own 3 Custom 45's and there is no other for stopping power. One shot and there down. the second shot can be used in court for premeditated. My Novak Browning is good for plates and targets but 9mm is not a one shot affair. And I know all the magnum people will chime in but the magmum's are to loud for me. There's something about a good ole 45 for security or a sawed off for a house cleaner.......
