Lugersman 45acp luger video

Gerry, it sounds like these modifications are beyond the skill level of most (90%) of Luger owners, or .45 Lugerman Luger buyers. I know they are beyond my skills.

I would guess there will be or already are many unhappy buyers.

Hi Rich, you are probably correct, but I think that maybe the very early guns probably got more loving at the manufacture, and also maybe the earlier sets of magazines might have been more friendly to the end user?..
I know I will help anyone out there with a .45 Luger that wants me to, and I'm not connected to Eugene in any way... I just want to see them all run as designed... (maybe they are running as designed, no fault of Eugene's???)
Eugene will most likely read this post, and if he spends a little additional time on these shortcomings, he will be dollars ahead and it will be time well spent...
I would think he has dedicated test mags he uses, that work great, and let him test the guns to perfection, trouble is, these are probably not the same mags that go along with the gun? He needs to test all as one...
Eugene doesn't know me all that well, and his abilities and skill sets far outstrip mine, but I've spent my entire life in trouble shooting and problem solving along with handling customer satisfaction issues. It will not hurt to at least consider my recommendations... Hopefully the next 20 plus units will have the necessary additional tuning done inhouse... Now, back to the drums!!! Best to all, til…..lat'r…..GT.....

BTW Rich! Your skill sets and level are on par with, or exceed mine! You'd do fine on one of these units... they are fun to shoot!....

Rich,
Your skills are not in question- if you wanted to- these small tweeks would be a piece of cake.

But for sure you are correct about 90%+ of most buyers not being able or inclined to have to fix a $5000 pistol.

GT and I have commiserated about his pistol quirks, my #20 did not suffer as badly, but the hold open spring did have to be replaced.
Eugene was and is aware of that part of the problem, and was supposed to address the faulty heat treatment of the springs months ago.

Sadly, Eugene-Lugerman- is his own worst enemy. JMHO.

HiYa G.T.,

Twas good to hear that you got a little range time with the 45. Even with the quirks you mentioned...............what a time huh? I know that I would have never thought the layman would ever get to experience such in these times.

I do not know the builder either, but suspect he has some time in grade with firearms. QA is always an important part of production, even though as a MTS, I did not always think so.

Sounds like the little things were worked out. Kinda a one of pistol I think, not to give the maker a lot of slack. 5000-9000 is a lot even today.

I remember the new automags coming out. Did they always run........well, no. Can they be made to run......yeah, I think so by the layman. I have several that I shoot often.

So one sometimes has to take what is on the table. At least you worked with it when it jammed the first time.........most would have swelled up and demanded their money back etc etc. You have a good trait I think.
