Tired of running into this guy!

Are there others out there also, that when you go to E-bay or do a search online even with filters using the word LUGER this guy, Lex Luger pops up all the time.

E-bay is the most frustrating with it.

Could not agree more. However, if you select a catagory such a military collectables, you will not get this Lex Luger c@&p.

My pet peeve is Searching on GB and getting 600 hits for holsters & magazines and only 5 for the actual handgun...

mrerick · 05-24-2012, 08:53 PM

Go to Google and try searching:

"Luger -Lex" without the quotes and watch what happens

Ebay will work the same way...

And you can keep it up for more of the common non-firearm Lugers, for example:

"luger -lex -peter -olympic -realty"

The minus in front of a keyword excludes it. This can, of course, exclude things you're really interested in, but it eliminates a great deal of the chaff from the wheat...

For the internet in general, download Google Chrome. It is much more specific with search criteria

TheRomanhistorian · 05-24-2012, 10:12 PM

Are you saying you can't stick that in a Luger? :P

It could be worse, I mentioned that I own a Luger at some local ranges or gun shops and people say 'Oh, you've got a Ruger?' :P

Michael, the Ruger,Luger thing has happend to me as well.
People have litterly cocked their head side to side as if I was talking to a German Shepard.

alanint · 05-24-2012, 11:18 PM

Try bringing a subgun to a public range. They are ALL "Uzis"..

Douglas Jr. · 05-25-2012, 09:45 AM

Oh it happened a lot with me.
I learned to focus my search on Collectables > Militaria.
Lex no more.

doesnt matter that the swiss were the first to use them in the military

The German Navy were the first to use the Luger militarily.

b0xcrash · 05-25-2012, 01:54 PM

Don't be "that" guy...??

John Sabato · 05-25-2012, 02:27 PM

You can add " -wrestling" to you undesireable key words... that will also eliminate some of the LEX garbage from your searches on ebay...

I'm guessing this is a joke of some kind...But like Sheldon Cooper, I'm not all that up on funny quips...So, I'll bite - What is this quip from???

TheRomanhistorian · 05-25-2012, 02:44 PM

Hey Rich,

It is a quip but not from a film. Just my being a cheeky monkey with regard to Lex.

This is so true around my area. MP-5, Thompson, Uzi.....they are all the Uzi (and of course we all know that they are illegal and the owner is a gangbanger!)
