Does anyone turn (machine) Luger barrels?

Garrett,

I have a 5in aftermarket barrel installed onto a 1939 receiver/barrel extension. To me, it is the ideal length for looks and for shooting. Good luck with your search.

I have been thinking about turning my own 6" barrel, but I can't find any reliable info on the twist. Some say that it's very important to get it exactly right, while others say that it doesn't matter much at all. So what would you recommend for a 9mm/115 grain bullet?
