My Luger-itis was complicated a couple of years ago by my interest in the Luger-looking guns made by Erma_Werke from the 60s to the late 80s. To make a long story shot, I acquired several frames and basket cases this last year, and have restored them to function. I have recently cast them into the melee that is Gunbroker.com

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=384086496 and http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=384247638

I've posted plenty about such guns on this forum, so will not repeat info that can be obtained by a wee search, but bottom line is that some people like them, some don't. They tend to be finicky about ammo and mag sensitive, but it is possible to tweak them to make improvements. For those who want to try out a gun that makes up for the challenges it may present by looking and feeling pretty cool, and being quite accurate, you might try one. I can add that, for these offerings, I'll admit to making the grips much nicer than original.

Otherwise, tell me what you think...

Thanks,

David Parker
