Your comments do help very much Barr. I'm starting with some e-books and going from there. These weapons are so intriguing! The Luger I have is one of the Fin's obtained by AIM a couple years ago. I got one of the last two that the owner had put in his desk to keep for himself. It's markings were a bit different than the rest and retained some straw. I put about four magazines through it, cleaned it and put it away. My first shot hit a six inch steel plate at 50 yards. Definitely comfortable to shoot! The store that has the S/42 is practically down the street. I use them for transfers mostly. Generally their collectables are over priced but I did get a good buy on an E. German Mak last year. I dabble - with emphasis on WWII - because of a general interest in firearms, I really respect the Greatest Generation and it's generally a good investment for my daughter when I'm gone. Actually, the next ones on my list were an Inglis HP and another Garand but I saw the Luger and just had to check it out. I am definitely looking forward to learning more. Your comments are greatly appreciated!
