Old Lugers Never Die!

Steinar,

During my ten years as an army officer I participated in four or five military national championship competitions. I never made it big, but I always used Lugers until they standarized the whole thing to Glock only. I stopped participating after that; I've never been able to strike up a good and accurate relationship to any plastic-fantastic pistol.

These days you rarely come across anything but Tupperware/wonder-nines in this sort of competitions. But, I have to admit I'd rather carry a more modern pistol than a Luger in combat. As for competition, I'll trust this S/42. Most important is the fact that I can bring it and show young officers that age (or size) doesn't always matter.
