Re: 'New' Lugers
Without any axe to grind- as you know our government only trusts criminals with handguns in most of the UK - I have to put my 5 cents worth in. I will never be in the position to buy a 'real' handgun again, unless I emigrate, but I would like to have stainless pistol that looks like a Luger, feels like a Luger and functions like a Luger. Don't call it a Luger, though, because it isn't. Just like there isn't a single Colt .45 M1911a clone that's a Colt .45. M1911a. Unless it's made by Colt. Hadn't noticed the millions of keen US shooters trashing all these clone makers, and there are many of them out there that just happen to be totally indistinguishable from the 'genuine' article, without naming names....
Enjoy what there is, and be grateful that someone out there has had the courage to make an affordable replica of one of the world's most desirable weapons. We are not all able to afford the woundrous work of Mr Martz, and I say that with the greatest of respect. If I could afford it, I'd buy one and shoot the rifling out of in a year! But remember, not even THAT is a Luger.
