Mitchell Luger

I've decided to pass on acquiring this... Talking to my friend, he said...

"Here's what is going on: that Mitchell luger, since day one, has done nothing but give me problems. I've been told many things, including: they don't like a lot of lubrication, they don't like dust or dirt, they need to have ball ammo not hollow points, and they need +P or +P+ ammo with 147 grains minimum. So......I tried EVERTHING I could, and the thing still fires one or two rounds and then either jams or misfeeds. The misfeed part I might be able to have a gunsmith take care of, but the jam (the spent cartridge doesn't come out of the gun, requiring tools to pry it out) seems like a bigger issue. The other issue I have had is the clip doesn't seem to like feeding the rounds - they seem to get jammed in the clip, too. "

It sounds like this wasn't one of the "good" ones and with parts availability being what it is, I'm not going to go there....

Thanks all for your insight on this.
