CCW, a Luger? (Dumb question # 2)

Heinz · 07-09-2002, 09:13 PM

I like the Luger, it is fairly small and compact BUT I think a dangerous piece to shove in the waistband. For "dark and stormy nights" I like the 45 long colt. I have a Alberti repro of the Remington single action and a 1878 double action Colt rebarreled and recylindered for smokeless. Sigle actions are pretty quick for the first two shots. And when wheel guns jam, you just thumb the hammer again.

But, the Luger would definitely do. Also, like the 1911, it gets a lot of respect when it comes out as the mass psyche accepts it as a serious pistol.
