Food for thought: is the luger really a "weak" design?

both breachblocks were in shooters, but it still happened

Ed,
did they blow out as in break/fail or as in the tab or tab groove wore through and they "came" out?

Did you mean 9mm + P ammo?

I'd suggest shooting the request/subject to the editor of Guns & Ammo. They'd probably be willing to put one through a torture test. Would make for great reading sitting on the thrown one morning.

Hi,

I doubt that anyone at Guns and Ammo would even understand the basic mechanical operation of a Luger, let alone "torture test" one.

Yea your probably right, Guns & Ammo doesn't know squat about firearms
