WTK: What the He!! is Strawing?

Strawing is probably a reference to the color being similar to straw yellow. The Russian imports with the coarse plastic grips, Mauser made P08s, appear to be among the best shooters. Many were near new when prepped to export to the US in the 1990s. Non-import shooters can be of many flavors from mismatched to well-worn but they appear sporadically. There are some retailers appearing in the links section who should be able to locate one for you.


Be sure to replace original grips and firing pin before shooting these as these parts don't hold up well when shot and will greatly reduce the value of the luger if damaged.


Good luck and enjoy your irreversible adventure into lugerdom.
