Stainless (O NO) steel question

[HÃ?Â¥kan Spuhr]

Hi Philip


I assume you would be greatly dissapointed if you bought a SS Luger as the quality is not near the real lugers.

I can't se any reaon to buy the crap as you can find real lugers for the same money.

Russian reworks or or missmatching shooting lugers does normally not cost very much and the quality is FAR HIGHER than the SS lugers.


The SS luger have the following problems.

They are softer than real lugers.

THey are not nearly as well made, with much bigger tolerances.


The principle for the toggle action is that the rearward preassure on the linksystem should be taken by the radiuses on the toggles and not by the pins.

But the fit on american SS lugers are so poor that the pins have to take the preasure.


A Luger pistol is one of the most time consuming pistols to produce and I have read somewhere that a luger needs 1180 machineoperations while a browning pistol (m/1903) needs 50.

I don't know how truth that is but I know for sure that it's for sure impossible to produce scuh a gun outside of Germany and Switserland today.
