Hi Brien,

I've noticed that you joined this forum 10 years ago, so I suppose you know more than the average about LUGERS. You ask what gun to get to take to the range, well I would advise you to get a P08 made in 1942 by Mauser, they are not that rare and if you look for a Russian capture you won't pay a fortune for it.

Good luck and shoot safe!

Sergio,

Wow, has it been 10 yrs? I bounced out of the hobby because it seemed a bit too expensive. Of course i was looking for a navy model when i started. Still am. Missed two absolute jewels just this past week. Lugers have always been an interest, but most times it's been placed on the back burner.

Taking a look back, after investing in my current hobbies of airline memorabilia and 1957 Era medals, I probably could have afforded a luger or two. It's just sticker shock that gets me. Kinda like the frog in the pot. It's easy to drop $1000.00 if it's 20-50 at a time spread out a bit. Not so all at once.

I have been watching priced steadily rise lately. I have decided that I had better get what I need before they go out of budget again.

Thank you and all who replied. This is the year.
