Welcome, Paul,

Checked out your album, nice little collection. Your Mauser made Luger looks great!

That's just a couple from the arsenal, kinda becomes a bad bad habit. My favorite shooter of any of my pistols is my cz52 in 7.62x25 and have the old hot loaded surplus ammo. The fireball is huge and the bark gets attention

Thanks for all the welcomes, part of joining this forum was the knowledge and honest input of what is and isn't. I know my luger isn't a big money piece but having not spent anything on it or my p38s I figure I'm already ahead, I went to the range with all intentions of shooting all 3 pieces after cleaning 70 yrs of a waxy cosmoline and oil mix out and fear of breaking a firing pin or something else kept me from doing the p08, now the p38s were different and did do a couple mags through each. All 3 are matched numbers so cleaned oiled and put away again until???
