This is not flaming, but the experience I had with THREE of these Aimco Stoeger stainless steel Lugers. Maybe you can be spared the frustration and time wasted that I had to go thru before giving up on shooting these.
I tried many things to make my Aimco Lugers work, none of them were successful. A gunsmith tried too, but was not able. Their parts are not avalible on the gun parts market, and are mostly not interchangable with regular P08 Lugers.
My conclusion is that they are made of soft stainless steel, not adequatedly hardened to the extent a Luger's parts need to be reliable, and they are not engineered nor fitted accurately enough to function reliably, for extended shooting.
Other collectors also said that their Aimco Lugers had internally mushed up on them after moderate shooting.
IMHO, they are more to be regarded as collector items, a shiny white Luger copy whose parts are made of stainless steel, not just nickel or chrome plated.
