Kurusu, rhuff,
Thanks for the mag cleaning information. Will do as suggested, Kurusu. Bought 3 new Mec-gars to use per suggestion. Used them yesterday at the range with the pistol and they worked perfectly. Careful not to slap 'em into the pistol ala 1911s so as not to crack the bases. No need to though since mags seem to easily snap in. Range report hopefully tomorrow. With pictures. Preview: WOW!!!!! What a pistol!

Hayhugh,
Great grip info! I plan on Lugerdoc making a pair for me but sending in the frame for two weeks when I just purchased it and want to shoot it means putting this off a bit. Trouble is, the factory grips, as a number of you pointed out are truly not very comfortable. So...I took your suggestion and just ordered a pair of the reds you suggested. Be here by next Tuesday. Thanks muchly!

Eric

You be very careful from now on. These pistols cause addiction.

Any forum member will tell you the same.

It is too late for Tango3, he has been exposed to the virus.

Eric
Yup! He's down that slippery slope all right.

Why isn't there a Betty Ford Addiction Center for Luger owners???? Perhaps the owners don't want to be cured!!

Kurusu, DonV, rhuff,

Yup, I confess, I'm HOOKED, especially after shooting the darn thing! This was the most fun I've had shooting a pistol, ever. What's a guy to do? Obviously...purchase more Lugers, and there's so many varieties. Oh, man!!

I'm already selling one of my precious 1911s which I swore would NEVER happen. Guess where that money's going. Who'd a thunk?

Hoping the Luger market crashes in the near future!

You gents are getting quite a kick outta this too, aren't you?

Eric

Yup.

Happens every time, but it doesn't get old.
