Stoeger 9mm SS Luger? Anybody?

I have a late Stoeger Navy (6 in) that works just fine. I have no problem with disassembly or assembly. Very balanced and accurate. They are though a bit thicker and not quite so ergonomic as a classic Luger, but I do have small hands.
AIMCO actually made both the Stoeger and the Mitchell. There was a problem with the early Mitchell models with the metallurgy. They were too soft and would eventually beat themselves to death. The problem was supposed to have been corrected while still under the Mitchell name. You can still get replacement parts through Aimco but they are expensive. Example the magazines are not interchangeable with other lugers and will normally cost about $65 ea.
