..the .30 cal Luger is a great round..I like it a lot..the whole point that I find interesting here (just amongst shooters and collectors, though) is that a single replacement part (out of all the parts) turns the pistol into a different caliber. How many pistols share that feature? As for the 1920 commercials which are in .30 caliber, many of them started their lives as 9mm and probably saw a lot of action that way. They ended up being reworked to spend the rest of their lives as a 7.65 Parabellum. Truly, if it is all matching and original it would be cheaper to sell it outright and buy a 9mm. The option, though, does exist (which is how this thread started). How 'bout this: "I know you wouldn't ever think of doing this but were you aware that by simply changing one part you can change the caliber of your pistol?"
