my first LUGER - ITALIAN REGULATIONS!!

YES, THIS IS EXACTLY, WHAT THE WEAPONS SHOP TOLD ME!!.

APPARENTLY, DEEPENING OF THE CHAMBER IS STANDARD PRACTICE OVER HERE.
THE THEORY IS THAT IN DOING THIS WAY YOU STILL HAVE A 9MM, SO THE GUN IS CLOSER TO THE ORIGINAL SPECS.

OTHERS INSTEAD MANTAIN THAT IF YOU NEED TO ALTER THE GUN BECAUSE OF THE REGULATIONS, THAN IT'S BETTER TO TURN IT INTO A 7.65 PARA.
IN THIS WAY, YOU WILL ACHIEVE THE DUAL PURPOSE OF HAVING A P08 WITH A BRAND NEW BARREL WHICH CAN FIRE LEGALLY APPROVED AMMO. OF AN ORIGINAL LUGER CALIBRE (EVEN IF NOT ORIGINAL FOR THAT SPECIFIC GUN)

FINALLY, SOME COLLECTORS WHO CAN AFFORD MORE THAN ONE LUGER, OFTEN DECIDE TO BUY ONE (IF THEY CAN FIND ONE AT ALL IN ITALY, I MEAN!) IN THE ORIGINAL 9MM PARABELLUM CONFIGURATION, KEEPING IT IN A GLASS CABINET - SINCE THEY WOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO ACQUIRE THE AMMO LEGALLY IN THIS COUNTRY!.

I REALLY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HEARING THE VIEWS OF YOU LUGER EXPERTS!!!

I AM JUST A GREEN RECRUIT IN THE LUGER WORLD, BUT I AM HAPPY WITH WHAT I BOUGHT, AFTER YEARS OF SAVINGS FOR THIS PURPOSE.
AS I SAID I AM QUITE CONVINCED THAT IF ONE ONLY CAN AFFORD 1 LUGER AND HE WANTS TO FIRE IT OCCASIONALLY, THEN AS THINGS STAND, 7.65 PARA IS THE BEST OPTION....BUT PLS LET ME HAVE YOUR VIEWS!!

THANKS TO ALL!!
