New to Lugers
 

I'm intrested in picking up a nice Luger P08 shooter. Not sure where to start. I am not a collector or gun counisour so I'm not looking to spend more than say $500. Just looking for a dependable "vintage" pistol that I can take to the range. What would you guys recommend?

Thank you,

I looked for a couple of years to find what you're looking for. you won't find it. Aim a bit higher, $600-700, and you may luck out. Search on websites and gunshows, and ask around gun guys. At $500 or less, all you'll find is a pile of parts (partly broken and incomplete) that will take time and money to get to where you want it.

600-700 is still doable. Thanks for the advice.

Anyone on this site have a nice shooter for sale?

Your best bet is to watch the WTS section on this forum and the one on the luger gunboards

The guns in the range your talking do not last long, so be on your toes and check often.

There is a Finnish Luger for sale now but a little higher in cost, it would be a good buy and make both a collectible and shooter.
They make great shooters as many have already had their barrels replaced.

Search for the word "Luger".... if no one competes with you, they could be cheap.
