Hi David,
I agree with Hugh- good answer. Here in Sweden the most popular pistol for competition shooting in our class "A" (military or police type firearm as opposed to class "B"- olympic rules as far as firearm design goes) is the SIG 210, usually the -5 or -6 variation, in both 7.65 and 9mm. It�´s usually fairly easy to see who is shooting 7.65mm. ammo as most of those that do have a casing catcher mounted on the right grip over the ejection port to catch the ejected brass. Too bad that this is difficult to do on the Luger. I do the same with my Haemmerli 280 in its .32 SW long configuration, but with a couple hundred kilos of 9mm brass collected over the years lying around just waiting to be reloaded to feed my and my wifes 210s (and various other 9mms I own), we don�´t bother. A tip for those of you that do a lot of reloading: by using a "CasePro 100" ( www.casepro.net ) I am able to get better than 99% reusable 9mm casings as opposed to about 80% before I started using it on my "policed" brass. Gives me something to do during these long Swedish winter nights.
