Re: German Luger Erma La 22
Hi Rick,
Errrr.... I'm afraid I have some bad news. There are two kinds of LA 22 owners - those who need parts and those who will need parts. The LA 22 is constructed primarily of a light alloy. Hence this model is not very durable, and is subject to parts breakage and stress cracking of the barrel extension and frame. Somewhere I have some photos of a LA 22 that was falling apart. The frame had multiple cracks and pieces were falling off.
I had one I took in a complicated three way trade that it literally took me three years to *give* away. On this pistol I could apply the safety, apply moderate pressure to the trigger, and watch as the safety slipped off and the striker fell.
These are pistols I do not recommend, and do not recommend they be fired.
I'm sorry the news was not better!
Best regards,
Kyrie
