Hi Sieger,

Thank God he didn't. A Japanese luger has all the hallmarks of a Japanese car. It's good, but as exciting as a 90-year old virgin.

Still working on the Krieghoff. The company does not respond to my inquiries so I haven't had the chance to study one in the flesh. I think the price tag is way too high, but I do admire the fact that they had the guts to recreate the pistol. If they had managed to price it in the 1000 - 1500 dollar range, they would have had a winner. But here again, production costs probably went through the roof.

I hope I get the chance to examine and test one in the near future. There is something unsettling about running a few boxes of S&B through a 15,000 dollar pistol, though...
