Modern Lugers?

TheRomanhistorian · 10-08-2001, 02:14 AM

Hello, I am almost reluctant to post this seeing as I am a complete newbie and all to guns and all. But ever since I was kid and saw Lugers in all those old war movies I've been infatuated with the darn things. I always thought it would pass and here I am a third year college student and I still love the things. I heard that AIMCO Inc. in Houston manufactures modern Lugers and that they were distributed by Stoeger. Anyone know what the price is on those things these days? I haven't gone to look around at local pawn shops and antique dealers yet (can't purchase handguns till you're 21 in Idaho I'm told...only 6 more months away.) but I think I'd have this guilt as a historian in using a gun with some actual history behind it. If anyone can help me please drop me a line via e-mail or respond to this post. My e-mail addy is: ng9403@uidaho.edu
