Is there a Houston area Luger gunsmith?

Hugh and I hooked up yesterday, and he'll do the safety repair.

This forum is as good as or better than any of the several others with which I've been involved over the years: 1911, S&W, Glock, Colt, etc. Your ready assistance to those in need is certainly top notch.

Thanks for your comments and tips.

Ron,

I forgot to mention that Jerry of Collector's Fire Arms said their gunsmith died two years ago, and they haven't hired another. Thanks for the mention, though.

It took Hugh about a minute to see the cause of the loose safety, then only a few more minutes to correct it. It was a missing retaining pin, the one that holds the safety assembly firmly in place. No, it wasn't lying loose in the works, so Hugh went to his parts box and found a replacement.

An earlier owner was obviously very careless when reassembling the gun, and probably uncaring as well since the problem was apparent.

But, everything works fine now, and I have a big smile on my face. I'll be taking my new shooter out for a little practice very soon.

Hugh is a gentleman and a truly nice guy, and he really knows his stuff. Inspecting some of his gun collection, as I did, was a real pleasure for me, as well as quite enlightening. Think I'll increase my present number of Lugers to go with my current modest number of Colt, S&W, Walther, and Glock handguns.
