Swiss Luger: One Heck of a Pistol.

4 Scale · 01-20-2018, 12:12 PM

I think the lighter recoil of the .30 round and a relatively long 4.75" sight radius has a lot to do with the achievied accuracy. I am consistently more accurate with .30 Luger in a 4.75" barrel than with any 9mm.

With respect to reliability, my experience is that when the major parts match (barrel, receiver, frame, the three major parts of the toggle) that the pistol tends to be as reliable as any modern handgun, at least in range conditions. But if a major part does not match, reliability can be a challenge.
