Jerry,

That sounds like what happens when any model is distributed in such large numbers that the smallest design, material, or manufacturing defect is going to show up sooner or later, even in very small numbers. And no group of people was more dedicated to trying to do it right, and continuously improve whatever it was. And Hitler had to screw it all up for them.

It's interesting to look at many models of contemporary western pistols in that light, old time German quality standards. I guess it's why all of us here regard lugers the way we do.

I was taking this Lange Pistole apart to clean it, marveling at the fit, finish, metallurgy, ergonomics. 100 years have passed, and it's as useful, functional, and pleasing to own and use as it was to several generations now dead. How many products, of any kind, can you say that about?
