Single best reference book?

John,

I would say that Kenyon's book is descriptive, while Still is diagnostic. I find myself referring to Kenyon if I want to check the basics of an unfamiliar pistol, and going to Still for serious detailed research.

I second the thought that there is no one single book which adequately covers both the general topic of the Luger pistol and serves as a comprehensive catalog. I would say that you would not go far wrong with a copy of "Lugers at Random" and Walter's "The Luger Story".
