Want to buy this Luger

[Ron Wood]

Michael,
I understand your clarification, but as originally written I hope that you can see that it appeared to imply that there were various makers starting in 1902. Syntax can be a challenge and it is one of the unfortunate aspects of the written word that it does not carry the more intended meaning as well as the inflections of the spoken word.

I do not disagree with your observation that a less steeply angled magazine and controlled feed action can be more efficient for the 9mm round, but it does not diminish the fact that this caliber works, and works well, in a Luger. I will not argue that the bottlenecked cartridge is not better suited to the action, because it is. However, in actual use and function the advantage is so miniscule as to be moot.

I have enjoyed our spirited discussion and find it stimulating. Thank you for indulging me and tolerating a gentlemanly disagreement.
Ron
