Hugh, I like your collection of .30 Luger chambered pistols. The cartridge is one of my favorites and I have a few pistols chambered for it myself. At the moment, I have a 1906 Navy long frame "Frankenschloss, Suhl" rework that was done during the Nazi era; a 1906 AE, a 1906 Portugese Army; an Erfurt 1920's rework; a Browning Hi-Power and a Benelli B-80. I know where there's a 1951 Beretta in excellent condition but he wants $1,000 and that's a bit steep IMO.

If you find someone who would reline a P-38 to .30 Luger, let me know, please. I'd likely buy a shooter grade P-38 or P-1 and have it done. It's a good cartridge and I wish it were more popular in this country. Seems there are others who thinks so too. Maybe if Winchester and Remington offered a factory load in something other than FMJ?
