For me the draw to Interarms is its a newer pistol with less history attached to it, I won't fret and worry about parts breaking every time I shoot it. Not saying the originals are super delicate and easily broken, I'll just have better peace of mind not risking damaging a piece of history. Am I taking that thought too far?

I appreciate the input.

If you do break a part, they are even harder to find(Interarms that is)!

Yes, you are worrying too much- JMHO.

DWM and Erfurt lugers are quite well made also, and served for scores of years in tough environments and many firings without problems.

Marc, thinks the Mausers are better- I think they are just different.

Use standard US 9mm loadings and not +P or Nato rounds and you will be fine. Parts can break eventually on any pistol, some right out of the box. Parts are plentiful for original lugers, that should say something about survivability in itself.

Just buy your first luger, which ever comes along first in good shape at a good price- and enjoy it!
