Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of the new guns out there but they don't make them like they used to!

What about converting .30 Lugers to 9mm? I would imagine that there are a lot of unloved Lugers in 30 sitting in the backs of safes all over the gun-world yearning to brought out and shot. Maybe rebore, rebarrel, or make a cannon-kit in 9mm? Just a thought.
There are pretty of 9mm barrels available for a pretty simple barrel change(if you have the tools). Change the barrel and the mainspring and there you go- Bob's your uncle.
