Since I've wanted a Luger for years, but was intimidated by all that I didn't know about the originals, I recently got a Stoeger. I quickly got over my fear of fieldstripping it and learned something about the inner workings. Once I developed a load it likes with HP38 powder and a longer oal than I'm used to, it functions fine. I didn't know that so few of the parts would interchange with the originals.
Anyway, now that I've been bitten by the Luger bug, I'm sure an original or two (or three?) will follow.
