A Luger is one of the last guns on Earth I would entrust my life to.

With so many inexpensive and reliable guns available today, why would you want to entrust your life to a Luger?
They are ammo sensitive, they are dust sensitive, they must be carried with a loaded chamber to be any good in a concealed weapon role, something I would never do. They are large and cumbersome for the caliber compared to other, more modern offerings. They have a limited ammo capacity. They don't really like hollow point, defense ammo.

I could go on but I think I've made my point. The only thing a Luger is better than for concealed carry is no gun at all.
