SailorBill,
There is a beautiful Interarms Swiss, six incher, in 9mm, on Simpsons' website for $1295.00 Grab it! Sieger |
Bill, I doubt that you find any shops still open in "The City", but you should find some lugers in the shops in San Bruno or San Mateo. TH

6" barrel, grip nub, boxed, 9mm... Only question I can think of is, BIN or gamble??? :rolleyes: |
Bill, the Swiss modified the grip frame design for pistols manufactured in Bern in a successful attempt to reduce production time and costs. (Even after tightening up procedures, the Parabellum was still expensive and time-consuming to make!)
The difference is aesthetic and makes no difference to the performance of the gun. I think the Swiss-design is a little ugly and departs from the iconic look of the German mfd. ones. I didn't mean to over-sensitize you to the issue, which is only in the eye of the beholder. Quote:

Thanks for the tip! The one on Gunbroker is similar to one on Simpson for $1795
http://www.simpsonltd.com/product_in...ducts_id=31787 And the Simpson one makes the one on Gunbroker appear to be a relative bargain even at the "buy now" price. OK - With either one I would be shooting Luger .30, which was pointed out as being expensive ammunition. The one on Gunbroker, however, really looks good . . . Darn it. At least I have a couple more days to think about it. (Actually, it will be next Monday. It's Mother's Day weekend and we leave tomorrow morning to visit our daughter in Mt Shasta. BTW - They get black bears in their backyard!) |

If it were me, I'd by a 9mm, as you can get ammo and reloading components readily (in normal times, that is). Sieger |

My son reloads, so I'll be making him a present of any needed Luger .30 dies, or whatever. Thanks for the information. |
The Interarms version is a nice pistol, but I find that gun's version of the grip safety makes the gun feel much wider and bulky in my hand. I prefer the older models without the grip safety.

I agree but for another reason. If you look at the Interarms' grips they are square at the edges and not tapered down to fit the human hand like the originals were. Also, for me, the grip safety spring in the Interarms models is too strong, making you feel like you have to grip the pistol too strongly to get it to shoot. Both of these obvious "redesign" flaws are easily cured, though. Sieger |

I don't think the new grip safety is necessarily a "problem". Like other features of the '29 Swiss it isn't particularly attractive, but it is functional. It does not attach to both sides of the frame, it is just attached on one side like all of the other grip safeties, but the exterior portion wraps completely around the rear grip strap so that both grips need to be relieved to accommodate it. The wrap-around design supposedly was to preclude objects from getting under the grip safety thereby preventing it from being depressed and thus rendering the firearm non-operative. Basically it was a solution developed for a problem that, for all practical purposes, did not exist. :)
