1. Aabsolutely, there are examples of Lugers we (at least, I) would feel comfortable in calling a "Pimp gun". I've seen a couple of examples pointed out on this board

2. If a pimp owned a Luger, I'd say at least that his weapons consciousness/esthetic was out of the ordinary.

3. Would I pick this gun up and look at it? Absolutely! Its different, it stands out, I'd be immensly curious.

I'll go you one further: the recent "pimp gun" discussions have got me thinking. If I had a -totally- mismatched, garden-variety Luger (one of the legendary "$250 shooters") I might be tempted to "pimp it up" a bit, add a bit of personal/custom ownership fillips. I -certainly- wouldn't wreck any kind of collectible gun.

Anybody else share this dirty little secret, or have I just placed myself in the muddy part of the field?
