Book Review: "Standard Catalog of Luger" (long)

Edward Tinker · 10-15-2006, 09:52 PM

Dwight, thank you for the excellent review. One thing I find very puzzeling is the fact that Davis purports himself to be a luger expert, yet from what I can see, he does not belong to either of the luger forums, and obviously does not deal directly with the many experts on these forums. I realize there are many "experts" that are not on line and also many experts that we / I do not know. But still, I can not understand how Davis is considered an expert and yet get so many things wrong?

I do not know, but wonder, does Davis include these "values" so folks will buy his books?

Being paperback, he can sell these cheaper than many other luger books...

And lesson to all, read this forum, see the reviews already written, do searches on something, before you buy something you might regret...
