The guy even invited me to shoot a few rounds from the revolver. Unfortunately, I was hurry to go home that day so I gave up the chance. Will try next time if I meet him again!

They are also used for silhouette shooting. I'm not sure if the long barrel increases velocity much, but the increased sight radius helps a lot.

Zombeer, In 1984 the German "Waffen Digest" published a 26 page article by Joachim Gortz & Reinhard Kornmayer of non-factory developed "improvement" (Ertindungen fur die Parabellum-Pistole) for the luger, including such items as the Ideal stock, scopes, snail drums, Benk/Theimann stock, subcaliber units, sear & mag safeties, experimental holster, even the Martz Safety Toggle Release (MSTR) and much more. To my knowledge this article has not ever been publish in English, which is a shame and perhaps a great project for one of our German speakers. TH PS: I had a German friend translate it for me on audio tape, which I've managed to loose over the years.

Not a Luger, but definitely a long barrel.
H&R Model 686 with 12" barrel, .22 and .22 MAG cylinders.
Best regards, Don

Sounds like an interesting idea. :thumbup:

(No, I don't speak or even read German) :(

A friend of mine has one just like it, and IIRC in about the same condition. I usually don't care much for H&R, but this one is gorgeous! :thumbup:
