Stoeger American Eagle Luger

Hi all,

Oh come on Steve, let's get some emotion in to it! The stainless guns are junk, and we all know it! Compare a "vintage" Luger to one and it's a "no brainer." My point is that they could have made the stainless guns to "old world specifications" and the entire Luger community would have run over itself beating a path to their door! I would pay 5K for a quality .45 Luger, wouldn't you? How many of these would they have had to sell to "break even?" Consider Kimber, a company who just a few years ago made only "high end" bolt action rifles. Because of their quality, they now produce the 1911 "to own." My new Springfield Armory M1 Garand is the same: A quality, proven arm faithful in every way to the originals and warrented for life. I can re-enact WW II if I want to, and the gun will run as advertised or they will fix it for free--what more could I ask for? There are many more success stories out there of small firearms manufactures who, because of the very high quality they offered, are now mainstays in the gun world. I rest my case.
