Hello,
Everybody has their favorite shooter pistol & theories....
I believe that a shooter gun must ``shoot`` wherever it is an original, rework, restored piece, etc. It is quite a personnal preference...
Qualities I want in a ``shooter`` Luger ( true for any of my firearms ) are: reliability & accuracy !! Quite simple !! So those average P08 Wartime barrels that have shot corrosive ammo to various degree are out of it. Collector pistols I have are out too ( Re: parts breakage scare !! ) So I get guns built to my liking with the help from my Gunsmith. Always built with a new ( or as new ) barrel cause I want it to be accurate ( ever shot Lugers at 100yds ?? ). All other parts being original parts, no repros. At the moment I have 2 ``shooter guns `` both with Rust Blue/ Strawed parts. One is a 5 inch 30 Cal ( 1 1/2 in @ 50 yds ) The other one a 6 in. 9mm built this winter...that will get it's share of shooting this summer....so far has done cloverleafs @ 20 yds offhand.....Photo below.
