I'm not sure it's the ammunition cost that seems to bring the value down...I believe it is the fact that 9mm military Lugers conjure up pictures of Wehrmacht troops being led by a heroic officer waving his Luger and exhorting his troops to attack!!!

...Or something to that effect...

Seriously, more buyers want the mystique of a war souvenir rather than a store-bought pistol...

I like the 7.65mm Lugers...and if you reload, the cost is no more than reloading 9mm...

But Redmans is not cheap...

A barrel from LugerDoc or even GB would be cheaper...
