'New' Lugers

As much of a ww2 buff as I am I like new things. I own an Auto-Ordnance m1911a1 .45 caliber I bought used. It field strips, functions(even more reliably) than ww2 colt pistols. All the fancy guys at my range who bought ,1991s and said mine was a cheap knock off were embarassed when i pointed out their plastic triggers.


As for my stainless steel aimco luger, it is covered in a black lacquer giving it an original look. So yes it stovepipes from time to time but it shoots and field strips like the original and i can get 1.5 inch groups at 25 yards shooting free hand(6 bbl really helps).


Anything original that is in good condition aint worth shootin! A new well made replica as in my cases offer fun nostalgia and with my 45 even personal protection. excuse my innocence but i dont understand why people would want to spend tons of money on any guy they would never shoot?
