Why Lugers?
My story is probably not unlike a lot of guys on the forum. I had worshipped Lugers from afar for years due to the Luger mystique. But I was intimidated by the wealth of knowledge needed to discern the wheat from the chaff. Finally I discovered that a gentleman very knowledgeable in this field lived not far down the road from me. Since my first contact with him about a year ago, I have been blessed by his willingness to share his knowledge and friendship with me. Now I have several nice Lugers starting with an 1920 Commercial and ending with a byf 42.
I have handled and shot a great variety of firearms over the past 50 or so years, but nothing else has ever given me the thrill of shooting any Luger.  Bill
