1914 DWM Question

Big Norm · 05-11-2004, 04:57 AM

I am going to catch holy heck from other members of this forum, but my gut feelings are that "Red Nine" grips are only appropriate for commercial Lugers. My reasoning is that since most commercial Lugers were in 30 cal, the "Red Nine" grips were warnings to civilians that this is a 9mm gun. My same thought process holds also for magazines that have "Cal 9mm" stamped on them instead of the serial number.
