Luger Accuracy?

Hitler should be fortunate that he had a Walther PP to shoot himself with and a cyanide vial to bite down on to commit suicide because if he had tried to shoot himself with a Luger, he would have most certainly missed and found himself in the hands of the Russians.

I think Luger accuracy is a myth. I have shot Lugers from a brand new Stoeger 9 mm to more recently a 1914 DWM and a 1941 Mauser Banner. The results have been the same with all of them. Scatter shots.

The most accurate Luger I have shot is an air soft Luger from the comfort of my living room. I must agree with collectors that Lugers are to be seen and not heard. Leave the shooting to my old friends — the trusty 1911 .45 ACP.

Even so, you've got to love the classy Luger with its unique toggle mechanism. They are fun to shoot, but embarrassingly inaccurate.
