My friend erma

Hi Ross (if I may),

I've read that the KGP-68 and 69 models were better built (more steel and less alloys) and they're also smaller. I'd say 80% of the size of an actual Luger and the La, ET, and EP Erma models. They're almost cute. :P I've not handled anything but a KGP-69 so I couldn't really comment on the 'feel' of the different models.

I started a thread about mine a few months back:

It doesn't like a lot of standard velocity ammunition so I've used the CCI Tactical (1200 fps) but I'm still on the hunt for a standard velocity/subsonic ammunition I can use in it. It's a fun plinker and hasn't given me a lot of grief (yet). :P

Hi Michael (and certainly you may call me by my real name Ross),

From both yours & David's description of the KGP-69 if I run into a decent looking one in my travels I will try to acquire it!

Also I'm going to look for some CCI tactical ammo to use in my Erma La 22 & some standard velocity too!
