Hi guys,
We have 8 guns that have been lingering,
Some due to the fact that new batch of mags just have been finished, some due to the fact that we were 2 man short for the past 2 month. We are back on track this week,
2 guns have been shipped, 4 more going out next week and soon 2018 deliveries will start.

Eugene, what is the total shipped so far? I realize your # in line was not always the # number that went out in order....

Still waiting on my Baby 45 Luger and Baby P38. 6500 may not be much money to some members here but to a retired working stiff it certainly is.

I recently added a 2006 hayabusa to my stable of bikes.Paid 5500. In 2006 it was the fastest production motorcycle , 193 mph top end and 10 sc quarter mile. A lot of machine for the money.

So, what do we invest in ? The bikes will never be worth more than what i paid -----

$6500 is a lot of dough to anyone I know.

Just did a self check. 6500.00 is real money to this guy as well. That buys 3 or possibly 4 nice S/42 lugers.

I have always been interested in statistics..Statistics about money and income are actually fascinating. They say that most Americans would have a tough time scraping up $500 in an emergency. On the other hand, in this retirement community I know people who get a check for 5K+ in retirement every 30 days.

Jerry, that stat about not being able to come up with $500 comes from people in my age demographic.

"They say that most Americans would have a tough time scraping up $500 in an emergency". It scares me to think of how bad things will get when, not if, things go south the next time.

Quinton, If it's any consolation, I was broke most of my younger years. The older you get the smarter about money you get. How to make it and most importantly how to keep it and make what you keep work for you. Most of the money I ever made was in real estate. Easier to do 40 years ago.


My biggest mistake was working for myself all these years. A retirement pension someone else pays for is a golden opportunity but comes with trade offs.

Hi,

Many years ago, you should have spoken to your CPA about a Keogh Self Employed Pension Plan.

I'm sure glad that I did!!!

So, back to the original subject. I ordered my .45 cal. Luger from Eugene in August 2017 with a projected ship date of December 1017. Friday this week, Eugene told me that it will ship tomorrow, Monday the 19th of November 2018.
I've been given estimated ship dates before, for this pistol, that have not yet come to fruition, so come tomorrow we'll see how valid this promised one is. Communication is not one of Eugene's better skillsets and that is not likely to improve.

As I have learned when given estimates, always double the time and the money, then you may be close to reality.

Lyn,

I ordered my Baby 45 in FEB of 2017 and ordered the baby P38 in mar of 2017. I knew the baby luger would require more machining so knew it would be one of the last of the original 50 to get shipped. Eugene told me SIX weeks on the P38 -----!!! You should be happy if you get yours in the near future.

Just changed the subject to cheer myself up-----

It seems we all have a lot of common interests.Always had a love for guns, started collecting when I was a kid. Bought my first luger an S42 when I was stationed at Eglin AFB back in 67. I paid 90 dollars. Then I started collecting and restoring old outboards. Ran out of room and got hooked on pocket watches and watch tools. Needed a lathe and mill to fab some parts for my motors ----led to collecting antique machine tools.

I have a hundred projects I will never get around to but I quit being concerned about it.Now I try to ride one of the bikes any day it is warm enough and enjoy time with a good book living one day at a time.

for older members who wait for delivery. make sure your family knows of this order and have email or other paperwork to prove deposit was made. if member happens to pass away before gun is received, the family can still insist on a delivery.

question: if member decided to not wait any longer, will eugene give deposit back after many delivery promises are not met?

Did I get it yet?? Of course not, as I'm guessing that I'm still on Eugene time. I did speak to him yesterday; however and he said he would ship it today. The day is not over, so we shall see.
Lyn
PS: I love the advice from Ben, as it is salient. I'm just not sure, at 73, if I'm one of the older members, or just average in age, knowing many of you.
