Thank you, tac, great background.

Sooo... what do people DO with their Lugers? I for one hate to have a weapon that isn't used - not one to be drawn to something that hangs on a wall and all people can do is stare at it an say "isn't that lovely."

Are there Luger parties where people get together and play Luger games? Or is the finite number of Lugers available, of all stripes, finite enough that people just get them, hang on to them, and enjoy the pleasure of oiling them every whip-snitch?

(Bit of heresy here.. in the 9mm world, I prefer my Steyer GB - chrome-lined barrel, ported, very natural pointer and hasn't failed on me yet... but we have lept ahead in weapon development 50 years also....)

Thank you, tac.

Don, I believe that to understand why so collectors take care of their Lugers, one has to be a real collector.
