Dear Gene,

Lugers ARE great fun to shoot. This is a fine place to learn about them. Iâ??ve been on the Forum for only half-a-year and I have learned more than I ever could have imagined there was to know about them. Of course I am barely scratching the surface of this hobby, nay, obsession I call Lugermania. These folks have taken me by the hand, and occasionally by the collar, to steer me in the right direction.

My own fond memories of Georgia will always be of my time in the Army at Fort Gordon and in Augusta. It was my home when Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were murdered. It was a bittersweet experience for me to see as so many thousands of Georgians gathered to honor the fallen Dr. King. He was a great American.

Back to the guns. If you don't think you want to invest in another Luger shooter just yet you could look around for an inexpensive C96 Mauser to shoot. The 7.63mm ammo is a bit expensive but a real kick to shoot. Just make sure it is properly checked out for reliability. IMHO it as the Luger's older cousin and a natural companion to any Luger or Lugers in your safe. I recently got one. I'm learning to shoot it now. Then it's back to Luger hunting.
I'll also be looking for that younger cousin, a P38.
