First off, I mean no disrespect to all you shooters. Secondly, I wasn't the one that started this thread about imports and reworks and was just commenting on the original message. This gets actually kinda funny, as when someone writes something that isn't in the agreement of the "shooters", he gets slammed. What makes this forum interesting is the different opinions and diverse beliefs. If you do not want a different opinion, then visit privately and do not ask the question on the forum. I'll stand by all my statements and still contend that there isn't much historical value to these imports, or collector value. If you want to collect them, then go for it, but not everyone thinks as highly of them as some of you do. Actually, I didn't say there was anything wrong with these imports, so you can "hold them and love them, and shoot them" all you want, as that is what they are, shooters. And I agree that they do get more people involved in a Luger due to their price and availability, again, because they are cheaper than a collector variation. But, they are still not in the same context as the unaltered variations, or the Weimar reworks or Nazi guns, in my very humble opinion.
