Kidvett and Unspellable,

The US army match shooters (and gunsmiths) seem to have achieved some success in 9mm. As I understand it, most of the service people now use 9mm at Camp Perry matches.

My Luger seems very accurate. However, my match 1911s have great sights (I use progressive eyeglass lenses like Thor to get a sharp sight picture), very light and smooth triggers, and are tighter than bank vault doors. If a Luger were set up similarly (maybe Hugh could do it), I believe it would be as good or better than the 1911 because the barrel is fixed to the sights (if the toggle is tight enough). The 1911's sights are on the slide and there is a lot of room for movement between the barrel and slide.

Anyway, I now shoot for personal fun (rather than match success) and don't plan to turn a Luger into a paper punch (only) like my match .45s. However, if Hugh is interested (the grips have already been reworked by him).......?

I also have a Ruger SA 4.75" barrel stainless .44 mag that is unbelievably accurate with full power loads. It is so-so with .44 special loads, but give it 20 grains of 2400 behind a 240 grain SWC and it is as accurate as anything I have (slow to load and a 6 round magazine though).
