new member - first Luger!

Big Norm,

It is a nice idea that our Government will 'see sense' over the pointless handgun ban, but I doubt it ever happening. The ban cost the British taxpayer millions of pounds (and I believe it still costing them Ã?Â£Ã?Â£Ã?Â£Ã?Â£) so to admit they got it wrong would be a major embarrassment for them. The one small ray of light may be the london olympics to be held in 2012. Some do say they expect .22lr semi auto pistols to be reclassified as section one to enable the British shooting team to practice and compete without having to travel into Europe to practice legally.

Thanks for the comments about my Luger. It has certainly fired up my interest in them. I've purchased 2 e-books, one about the Luger in general and one about the DWM production.

On another topic, I am thinking of buying a Mauser Broomhandle in 7.63 in the near future, and hope to build a small collection of historical pistols over the next few years.
