New member here - and thanks in advance for any guidance! I've always liked the look and operational aspects of the Luger pistols - my "experiment" with a couple of Stoeger Lugers in 22LR was disappointing - my two had feeding and reliability problems - constant headaches - but I still like Lugers, so I'm looking for a "real" shooter Luger, if I can find one that'll meet my criteria:
- I want a reliable shooter - I'm not interested in a collectible pistol that'd best be kept in the safe
- I'm not at all focused on Nazi markings or wartime memorabilia - in fact, I'd prefer one without those markings
- Magazines - since one of the many problems I had with the Stoegers was magazine related, I want at least 2-3 original magazines, unless there are after-market, recently manufactured RELIABLE mags available
- it'll shoot modern 9mm ammo - I don't want to have to get into an additional caliber at this point
- parts probably won't be cheap, but they should at least be available
Looking forward to your thoughts, and thanks again !
