What is your take about this? I'm looking to buy a nice Luger, but do not want to 'fiddle' with it to get it to work properly.

I "think" he was/is a cheapskate and only bought junk!

If you want one to shoot, buy one from a seller that has shot it and knows it works. The WTS forum here is a good place to start for "shooters" that have been shot!
