Great info above. I own original Lugers, and post war Parabellum Lugers. I shoot all of my Lugers, as I don't own any rare Lugers. The Mec-Gar mags work 100% in all of my Lugers. Just find a nice Luger that you feel like you can afford, and desire, and go for it!!! It likely will not end up being your only Luger.
