Steve, first, are you licensed to carry in Mass? If your not, forget about it->! Luger is a good weapon, there are better...which will open a box of worms. A semi-auto, double action,one your are familiar with, which when you put it into your hand you do not have to think. Everything must occurr by trained reflex. Your mind must be on him or them, which ever. My preferance is the H & K P-7, only in 9mm. Ammo is Black Talon. You want aprojectile that will "stop" inside the target, nothing that will pass through. The energy must be delivered to the target, no one else. My .02, Hope this helps.
