Hi
I'm new to the forum. I'm an avid shooter. Mostly 1911's & modern 9mm's. I've been reading up on luger's, searching the web & checking you tube. I want to purchase a luger. My budget is $1500. A dealer suggested I look at DWM lugers from WW I , 1914 thru 1918 with matching serial numbers. I want a shooter. My question is this:
Should I purchase from a gun show, a internet site or a company like Simpson.
The gun show I can see and handle the gun. Simpson is an established company. The internet can be a gamble.
Also should I wait till I have more experience. Any suggestions are welcome. thank you
Peter
