LugerDoc,
You are correct in assessment of the large frame Erma Luger .22 guns, like the La22, Ep22, etc.
However the smaller frame KGP series, the KGP69 is a great little gun, feeds reliably and is accurate. A much better made gun, you can feel the weight / size ratio difference. The KGP69 Erma is also much closer in shape to the original P08, just smaller.
That is a cat-hair on the gun, not a crack, in my lousy picture.
