Thank you gentlemen for the information and warm welcome. I can't wait to buy my first Luger, but I don't want to rush in blindly before doing so. I prefer to learn my valuable lessons at the least possible expense to myself. :-)

I'm also a member - and have been for some time - of Parallax Bills C&R forum. Personally, I like to answer the stupid newbie questions over there. It's usually the only kind I CAN answer.... Funny how among my friends I'm the gun expert, but when I visit forums like this I realize how very little I actually know. If I'd have known that before registering on PBs site, I'd have chosen the screen name "MrKnowNothing". :-P

Thanks again guys. You can count on seeing me for a while, mostly lurking and learning, but asking the occasional stupid question so that I may select the proper Luger for the right price. I see it's easy to get ripped off if you're not educated enough.....
