I agree that Browning is one of the best firearmsdesigners of all time.
But the true reason why Lugers not are popular for competition is simply because it's the most missunderstod pistol of all time.
People don't belive that it will work, when I cones to competitions with my gun some people just smile.
But I very rarely have a missfire or any problems at all.
The 1911 is more sturdy, fits better for combat than a luger do.
But the Luger gets a better triggerpull, at least as good accuracy, faster ignation time, better gripangle and lower barrelline than any other competitive gun.
I do find the balance and the weight to low and therefor am I using targetbarrels.
My results rised considerably when I switshed from using a custom 1911 to my custom luger for competition.
I do also have a SIG P210 in my cabinet, but never gained very good results with it due to its straigt gripangle.
An interesting note with the differnece of a targetluger from all other guns that i have fired is the following.
WHen I fires a 1911 often I feel that i did a bad squese off with the trigger, and when i look at the target often there is a bad hole.
But the same things happends with the targetluger exept that the hole aint sitting in the wrong place.
