What about titanium as a Luger frame material??

Hi Al & All! Thanks for the reply Al... I agree, there certainly isn't any real need to revisit the Lugers construction & materials... other then a fasination with the new exotic materials that seem to be popping up in every form of firearm made today! I like the Lugers of old, and I believe that they were far ahead of their time, even if it was short lived as a cutting edge military firearm... They used the best materials they had, and did it right! Now we have infinitely better material, and seemingly unlimited capibilities! Yet, no one, with the exception of Mike Krause, has, in my opinion, done it right! Old design or New!
I spend a large portion of my day working, wondering, and dwelling on Luger parts and production... I was born 100 years too late for the old, but I'm right on time for the new! You never know, the luger, and, maybe even the South,

may rise again! best to all! til...lat'r....GT <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />
