Big Norm,
The Luger survived the Svalbard winter

I fired it a few times when the temperature was around -35 'C, with very thin oil, it worked quite well. When the temperature was lower than that, I didn't try it.. The narrow finger guard, makes it hard to use gloves. Cold metal against skinn is not the best combination

I know the germans sometimes used a special winter trigger, like this one on a Mauser M/98

It's always nice to see women walk around in bikinis

When a women in more arctic places are undressing.. it's almost as exciting as opening a x-mas gift, with a chance to get disappointed
