Don't get me wrong, I think it's cool that people competitively shoot with prewar and WWII P08's, but it would seem more logical to use one of the new/improved pistols with better metallurgy, especially if the triggers can be modified.

One other reason Lugers aren't used more often is the sights of a bygone era standard.

The new Stoeger Lugers being in stainless steel only make things harder. And they have a bad rep, deserved or not, of not being up to standard to the originals.

Also it's harder to adjust the trigger mecanism with stainless components.
