Which Luger?

alvin · 08-21-2013, 09:01 PM

Since I sold a few guns, I assume I knew seller's logic (actually, my logic) in this. Say, I had a good shooter grade listing for sale, I knew it works well, let it go cheap is not impossible, but unless I quit from this hobby, it's not very easy to find one shoot well lower. There are lower ones of course, but God knows it works well or not, or how much more I have to put into it to make it work. There are lots of uncertainties. So better keep shooting the existing one. One day, I will die, my son will inherit it, and he does not like guns at all, so he will dump them cheap. That's the moment the gun will go cheap.

The DWM "alphabet" Lugers make good shooters also. They do not demand the prices of the military Lugers, and there are reasonably priced parts guns, and less than pristine guns for sale in the $700-800 range.

Being a new collector I decided to start with a cartridge that the Luger was originally designed for, .30 Luger. Also, as rhuff stated, the 1920 commercials are found at lesser prices due to greater supply and less desire for them I guess. Anyway, I found what I was looking for and am really liking it- shooting the .30 Luger is great, and my wife even enjoys shooting it! I subsequently got a 9mm shooter and like it also, but not as much as the .30 Luger.
