I didn't mean to start a rant session... but here was my thought and why I posted.

But first... a commercial...

I received my first Luger today. I am not able to register it until Thursday so it will sit idle until them. I will say that I am REALLY excited to have it.

We not return you to the post, already in progress.

As I said, it is known the luger has a quick, smooth action, is very comfortable to hold, is a natural pistol to point, well constructed, etc. But, as many have pointed out on the forum, most of the decent quality Lugers out there are much better valued as a collector piece than a shooter. In fact, every time the trigger is pulled, a risk is taken.

I thought that it would be much nicer if a decent quality knock off was made that maintained the fine qualities of the Luger (with a few modern upgrades), that provided the collector with a shooter that performed LIKE the collectable Lugers, and that one could enjoy shooting without devaluing the collection.

Obiviously these would be no more collectable than on of the italian made reproduction Colt Peacemakers. But I sould surely rather shoot the $250 knock off than an original historic Peacemaker.
