On TV...

Johnny C. Kitchens · 07-18-2003, 12:00 AM

My Luger and I made it on TV!!! The local shooting range was shooting commercials back in May, and I just happen to be there shooting my BYF42. They used a part where I was reloading, early in the commercial, but they show my Luger with their logo over it as the closing scene. Had it been lined up a little better their name would have formed an arch over it. Kind of exciting. I wished they would have used the part that they actually filmed of me firing it. The lady next to me won out...

If you are in the Metroplex of Texas, the commercial is for the Alpine Range and is running on TXCN...

Thats pretty cool, and lucky.

But you probably just made all luger prices jump 15%.

Johnny,

See if you can get a copy of the video and take out the frame where your Luger is featured and it can be posted here on the forum...

I used to shoot at alpine range when I lived in arlington. I remember one cool winter afternoon walking into the pistol range and there were several gentlemen with a shoe box full of all kinds of different ammunition. they had a baby nambo they had found in the rafters of a garage they were demolishing and trying to figure out what calibre it was by trial and error... I never was a racist until I'd lived in the south. My home town prided itself on not being racist. Everyone was white... Even so, I interrupted them and said "Now that is a bad, bad idea. New that pistol was dangerous, even with the right ammo."

Should have offered them $20 for it.

Johnny, that is cool, always nice to have something like that happen!

{I like Nambu's, and if a baby, its worth a bit more than many Lugers,

actually, I gave them $50.00 for the pistol... sold it about 2 years later for $600.00... Suicide guns, they were called, as you could actuate the sear by depressing it.

Trigger, That sounds more like a T94 Nambu, than a baby. TH
