Welcome to the forum, George...It's too late, you've been bitten by the Luger bug; and there is no known antidote or cure. The obsession can be maintained by constantly reading the forums and reference literature, checking sales and auction listings, and, of course, buying Lugers!

Ah, here's another opportunity to pimp Gerard Henrotin's e-book, Luger Mechanical Function, first in a series of 5 excellent primers on different aspects of the Parabellum pistols. It will be just about the best $7.95 you may ever spend, as it does a thorough analysis of the pistol's mechanical systems. Learn more about different manufacturers, variations, accessories, etc. in his other Luger e-books. Find the link to his offerings on our main page, which contains an animation of the Luger firing sequence, taken from his e-book.
