Larry,

Sorry, I didn't get any info. on the 1938 Luger. However, we have a big show here on the weekend of Feb. 15-16. I'll keep my eyes open.

I was looking for an AWA replica a couple of years ago when I found my .45 SAA. It was an Arizona Centennial in new condition (but no case) for $750. He also gave me a good trade on a .44-40 replica that I was tired of. Couldn't pass it up since it was genuine Colt--these comemoratives don't seem to bring the prices that the standard model does. Great gun and shoots well, but about 3-4" groups.

I reload most ammo except 9 mm. That isn't worth it.

I use 230 grain .45 ACP RN bullets in my .45 long Colt loads over 7.8 grains of unique powder, accurate and satisfying to shoot. I also load .44 special with unique, about 7.5 grains and 240 grain SWC bullets.

I load .44 magnum for my Ruger 4 5/8 Blackhawk using 21 grains of 2400 powder and 240 grain bullets. It shoots 1-2" groups at 25 yards and holes in the dirt backstop look like groundhog holes. Very powerful and undoubtedly contributed to my hearing problem, but also very satisfying to be able to control these loads. I think even a bear would notice it if he was hit with one of these.
