Mitchell Luger

Found the book. It's "The Gun Digest Book Of 9mm Handguns", 2nd Edition. It views Mitchell from another angle "The Luger P-08 pistol was the launching pad which made the 9mmP cartridge a factor on the world scene during the early days for the 20th Century. Now, as that same century draws to a close, there is an American rebirth of both the handgun and the ethic which for millions of shooters always has defined the 9mmP. It is called Mitchell Arms American Eagle version of the legendary Pistol Parabellum P-08 (Luger)."

I have a 1992 Mitchell Luger. Although it does not have the history of the original Lugers, it is still a Luger. I read somewhere on this forum that the stainless Mitchell, Stoeger, etc Lugers were based on the 1942 byf Luger with a few of the problems the 42 byf had.
However, my Luger has fired great with no problems at all. As mentioned earlier, I think the stainless Lugers work good, or they have problems. Thus, they are liked or disliked It is what you get when buying one--and unknown until the firing range settles the issue.
I have seen the stainless Luger priced from $800 to 1000.00.
I would suggest you get it while understanding it could be a dud or a great pistol.
Good luck on what ever you decide.

Once I carried a Swiss style Interarms Mauser to a dealer asking for cash. He took it over .....

Buyer: "It's not even a German.

$350".

Seller: "Excuse me. IT IS A GERMAN.

Give it back to me!"

No other purpose. Just a view from people -- at least it better be a "German" for this type of gun, if care nothing else.
