luger's accuracy
Hi Dwight,
Is the "phenominal accuracy" you refer have a lot to do with the fact that I read that the luger recoil is more of a straight back rearward recoil(thus allowing you to stay more "on target" vs the recoil of many pistols which tend to send the shooters hand "up" with the gun's kick? Why the difference?
Which guns(the blowback type?) and revolvers? tend to have this upward kick?
I have noticed lugers are often fired with one hand as other handguns are fired with two hands. Lugers have less upward kick?
What other well known guns fall into the upward kick vs a rearward kick category. Is it just a function of the blowback vs locked breech design? I have fired a GP100 Ruger revolver and the frame absorbed right much of the kick compared to a smaller framed .38 which seem to bite at my hand with its nasty kick. The .45's I fired seemed to kick more upwards than the GP100 Ruger if I am remembering correctly and again the larger frame seemed to absorb some of the kick. I am looking forward to firing a luger someday. My friends erma .22, I wonder, if it will shoot anything like a real luger due to the way it fits in the shooter's hand or different due to fact I think it may be a different recoil system? The Erma has a different recoil system I think? Blowback? Or since it has a similar looking rear (knurls)?, is it a similar system? I have ordered 3 books on the luger so that will help get things sorted out also, Luger Tips, The Luger Story: The Standard History of the World's Most Famous
Handgun...and The Luger Handbook!
Color me curious, its chilly here in Greensboro, NC, keeping me indoors and off my motorcycle!
