I'll give you reasons.
You can't conceal the toggle block on a Luger. Too large, square and wide. It will print your shirt big-time.
You can not take the safety off a Luger quickly with your shooting hand as you pull it out. On both the 1911 and the Hi-Power you can take the safety off as it is rising with your shooting thumb. Try that with a Luger.
Front sight is too tall and will snag clothing.
You can't pick up the rear sight quickly unless you are under good light and your eyes are no older than 18 years.
You may be enamored with the idea of carrying a matching Luger as a carry gun. But it is a really, really bad idea.
Oh yah, IMHO.
