Re: 'New' Lugers
A couple years ago I purchased one of the SS lugers from AIMCO. Nice looking piece, although not an exact replica, being dissimilar in certain of the dimensions, chiefly those of the grip handle. I found, however, that functioning with all but the FMJ ammo was about impossible. At first, I had an extraction problem. I sent the gun back to the factory and this was corrected free of charge. But the gun would still after that not chamber rounds reliably or efficiently. It was extremely finnicky about ammo types, which I have not found the case to be with the 2 original Lugers I own (which incidentally I do not shoot. I got so exasperrated with the SS luger that I ended up trading it in on a brand new Sig Sauer P220, which digests any type of ammo with gusto.
Cheers,
Gary
