The "new" Luger?

It would have been nice if the author, mr. Dave Anderson, had done his homework and got himself a nice, reliable luger for the tests. Or is this the april fool's day edition?

He probably shot with a worn gun, with worn magazines and the wrong ammo. I agree that the knowledge he spreads in his article is questionable at best.

My 1937 S/42 has had no stoppages with S&B ammo for over 5000 rounds.
My 1917 Artillery shoots within the black at 50 meters without problems, with excellent reliability (apart from the sight spring).

I even fired a 1913 1906 model for over a year without as much as a glitch. In fact the only problems I had were with a worn out VoPo with soft springs (which was cured after spring replacement) and the 1970s Mauser, which is a bit picky about it's ammunition.
