Hey Kyrie you made some very valid points so I don't consider what you said a "rant"
in fact that was something that was on my mind when looking at Lugers! If you go that far out of your way to make your luger matching, what if ends being not very shootable?
I'll admit it's tough not being able to say my specific Luger was issued to a WWI or WWII German soldier as is, but nonetheless it has history and I can shoot it without worrying about value too much. Plus, since these are no longer in production, it's still kinda rare in its own way right?
