Is the Luger a 'dead' topic in the gun magazine?

[Jasta2]

Is the Luger a 'dead' topic in gun circles? Has it been reduced to a gun of intrest to only the die hard Luger fans? I would think not at the great intrest any Luger brings when one shows up at a gun shop for sale and at quickly they sell despite their condition. There is no doubt that the Colt 1911 is worth the praise it gets. Every gun magazine seems to have a new, souped up version of the 1911 on it's cover and the poor old Luger only gets a mention, and a short one at that, when a magazine gives a nod to 'surplus' military pistols. In the two major book stores I visit, not a Luger book can ever be found, but always 1911 books and others are in plent supply.The Luger and the 1911 being born basicly in the same era and used in WW1 and that generation of servicemen and by WW2 the 1911 was in great use and the Luger was a 2nd line pistol, though highly prised bring home throphy, and it that generation the most intrest is found. It looks as if the shooters of today, being brought up mainly on the 1911, look at the Luger as little more than a 'curiousity' or a expensive collector item. Some thirty somethings I was chatting with the other day had the opinion that the Luger was very unrelable. There might be 'some' truth to that compaired to all the 1911s, Sigs,Hks,Glocks,ect. I think the Luger looks to be forgotten, unless one comes up for sale!!
