Okay, well I did it...!


I contained my "newbie" luger fever for almost a month.


Today I have started my purchase towards one of Tom Heller's "new" Mauser-Interarms lugers, a 6", 9mm, swiss style, NIB. I know some of you don't consider these 1970's units as real lugers, but it made sense for my 1st. luger that I want to shoot alot. I thought there was good quality and a NIB hopefully will keep me out of the spare parts search for a few years. For some reason, the swiss-style "line" appealed to me more than the -08 profile...


I have also started some off-Forum discussions with Ralph Shattuck for my next luger, a real one that would have some collector value or at least some collector potential. I am planing to visit Ralph the week of 2-17-02. Once I get Ralph's pistol in my hands, I will post a photo on the Forum.


I appreciate all on the Forum who have helped me start understanding lugers.


My wife comments that she has never seem me immerse myself into anything so quickly and so seriously...her only concern is that I don't start wearing "cammo" clothing...I promised her that I won't...
