My first Luger

Thanks for the responses and the welcome!

I downloaded the FAQ but like I said the variations are dizzying for the unintiated. I appreciate information and will read through the FAQ and forums more.

I'll check into the takedown lever spring issue. It did come with a magazine but appears to be a later reproduction and not original. Yes, I had noticed the chip in the grip and understand that is a very common issue.

I don't have any other specific questions as of yet, I was just trying to get a handle on what type of Luger this is, etc. Now that I have a base of information reading through the FAQ will likely help more. I'm sure more questions will come up but thanks!

Jim

My first Luger was a .30 like yours. Watch out! You'll want more! M

Welcome to the forum. The chipped left grip can be repaired(a common problem) by our own Jim Solomen(sp) if you so desire. These lugers make good shooters, and many of us enjoy the 7.65P(30 Luger) caliber. I purchased my first alphabet Luger in 1972, and still own, and shoot it. I am a handloader, so I can shoot it quite cheaply....many on this forum handload for this caliber.

Lugers like to be kept clean and well lubed. Congrats on your FIRST Luger.....they can be quite addictive.
