Which Luger?

Read a digest article in the past, the author partitioned the 9mm pistols into a few generations. The 1st generation, of course, was Luger and Red 9, only those two types of 9mm pistols were mass produced in large numbers, until 1935. Pistols like Hi-Power, VIS35, Lathi, and P38 were classified as the 2nd generation.

Since you already had a 2nd generation 9mm, acquiring a 1st generation 9mm (Luger being 1st gen regardless year of making) makes lots of sense.
