Sieger,

I still remember my first encounter with shooting a luger (Back in the days when I had better eye sight...). A police officer friend that I shot with brought a luger to the range, along with his usual collection fo nice handguns. I knew nothing of lugers at that time, and I don't remember what exactly this one was, except that it was German military in about 85% condition and with a perfect bore. He handed me the gun and said "Here, try this." After a couple of magazines of ammo to get used to the trigger pull, he told me to try shooting at a 1" square black paster on his target at 25 yards. I put 5 rounds into that paster, with no round more than half off the paster. I was amazed. We spent the next hour in informal competition shooting at black 1" pasters at 25 yards (From a sandbag rest.), with almost all of the groups running at an inch or less. I had a great bit of fun with the luger that day... and it really opened my eyes too.

My friend would also occasionally shoot his department's quailification course with the luger just for fun, and he cleaned the course each time....

Ah, the good old days........
