My 1942 Mauser Police Luger

This is the first Luger I've owned. Always wanted one but they were generally more than I wanted to pay. Found this luger a cheap price but it was plated.

I stripped the luger of all plating and reblued her to get the look I wanted. I know the bluing isnt what it was originally but I figured that ship sailed when someone plated this gun.

Ive had issues with the gun not cycling (bad main spring), then failing to reliably eject (ejector not having enough tension), and finally the gun going full auto (weak trigger bar spring).

Now I finally can shoot her with three mags and no failures.

Ive had a lot of fun figuring these things out, maybe someday Ill have the gun restored. But I like my shooter
