Best Stainless Luger Clone

mrerick · 05-02-2021, 10:08 AM

My shooter Luger is a 1937 Mauser made Luger with a bad case of "road rash" on one side. It's all matching, fitted at the factory, and is mechanically excellent. A Mauser Luger that is matching but not in collectible state would be my choice, followed by a Luger made from a complete matching frame and a complete matching canon assembly (receiver / barrel / toggle) from another donor gun.

Another option would be an armory fitted Russian Capture / VoPo pistol. Some of these are even all matching pistols that have been refinished and marked, sometimes with replacement grips.

I personally have no interest in the stainless Lugers because of the metallurgy and other issues that are mentioned above.
