Where's the beef? - Page 3

Hi guys,
I'd like to air out something that has been bothering me for a whole year.
I bought an Artilery Luger LP08 last yr. and the very first time I took it to the range, when I went to see my target, someone, the sneaky ***, dropped sand right on my pistol. The friends that were with me didn't say anything but I could tell fear within them.

Then, this January, it happened again. ....What's their beef could someone enlighten me? And yet, many thru the yr. would come and ask me about them, I also have a P38, an excellent shooting pistol. --Actually both pistols are excellent!
One fella walked over to me and said his dad sent him to come and find out what kind of pistols I was using since I was shooting 100 yds and hitting the target every time. And others even the park rangers would inspect them closely and make good comments and say things like 'I bet they have alot of history behind them, but then there are those that don't show or say anything except display a stoic face.

Now, what prompted me to post this, was on another thread the true experts on Lugers and other subjects, have corporate fire walls etc. Now I agree these guys are, imo, extremely knowledgeable and I respect and admire them and their expertise. Could whatever motives or prejudices underlie what has happen here? And what are some of them? I'd appreciate any input,

M,
who just appreciates and enjoys shooting good arms, with no politics or anything else.
