RottenII,
I'm glad you're enjoying the Stoeger .22 Luger. See what you might have missed? It is what it is: a neat looking, inexpensively designed, reasonably reliable and accurate .22 plinker which looks like a Luger and has a very nice feel in the hand. It's no $2,500 collector Luger which you have to be afraid of shooting, for fear you might put a microscopic scratch on the inside of the extractor hook.
Do some of these feed unreliably? Probably so, exactly like a HIGH percentage of original "real" Lugers. And probably for the same reasons; ammo problems, mag problems, or some minor function of the pistol requiring tuning or repair. I doubt if any, or many, of these jamming Stoeger .22 Lugers cannot be fixed fairly easily. It only requires somebody with the patience and ability to analyze and correct the problem; somebody who hasn't prematurely made up his mind that the design is just a bummer...not that we don't run into some of those.
In that regard, the several variations made by Erma, at about the same time, may appear to be a bit better made, but they reportedly also have more functional problems. I suspect that most of those can also be made to run better, if the right person spends time on it.
Most of us collect, or accumulate, a lot of things, not because they are best-of-type but because they are entertaining and tickle our fancy. That's how one of these fits onto my pile.
