Now children; play nice!


I just realized that this is really a "Show and Tell" for big kids.

("You can tell the age of the boy, by the price of the toy")


I guess some people were never learned the rules in kindergarten.


Send them to the "Time Out" corner DOK


I don't feel so bad now.

It was NOT me!

I am sorry for maybe overexpressing my self, I got a bit mad when I wrote it.


Even though my opinions about the earlyer menationed "guns" is the same.


Probably is here a difference in American and European writing. When Jan Liborel or mostly other gunwriters tests a gun in a magazine they will write that its good.

Even though many times the quality is much lower than good, regardless of guntype.

I have many tiems for example read that Colt Gold Cup is state of the art and Colt Pythons are the Revolvers Rolls royse.

Both statements are lyes and probably pretty well payd lyes.

Both guns are far from good enough for seriuos competition and not even good for plentyfull plinking.

And those things probably shows pretty well that many americans not like or should read the truth, just as long as its politely written it's ok.

Last I would like to point out that I cannot understand how some people can take my critisism about a commersial product personal.

My critisism is only about the product and not about the owners.

To me it's about to help lesser knowing people to avoid some of the deep traps in this field.

It is a common character flaw these days:

That a person often feels; that he "IS", what he "Owns".


It is a sad commentary on the human condition.


It is NOT I believe; a trait exclusive to Americans.


I, for one welcome your opinion;

But I regard it as just that;

An "opinion"

All be it; one based on a wealth of experience.

well look you like your guns for pulling them apart and customizing--i like mine for shooting and nostalgia with accuracy while being brand new so lets part ways and just respect each other. if and when my guns barrel bursts or its toggle shears off ill let you know. the fact is we are all fraternal and passionate about lugers which is a very good thing. we are a unique breed of people with keen appreciation. that is what makes us and this web site forum special and my apologies to all on this site including dok and john sabato.

I find the comments about stainless steel auto pistols very intersting. I also own one of the new AIMCO Lugers. Mr. Spuhr seems to be an experienced machinist and metalurgist and I do not have the knowledge to agree or disagree with his views on how appropriate SS is for a pistol such as a Luger. However, I have some opinions that pertain to this discussion. There is a finite number of pistols that were made prior to 1945 and by Mauser in the 1970's. Who knows how many are lost or destroyed every day? With that in mind, unless someone produces more of them, someday we will only be able to look at them in museums! It might be better if AIMCO was making them from carbon tool steel but they are not. The one I have seems to be very accurate and I like the way it looks. The feeding problems seem to be tied to both ammunition brand and individual magazines. Having a "replica" also means that I can buy accessories that are original or newly made replicas! Do I want an older gun? Yes. But that does not mean that I do not like the one that I have. It is fun to shoot.
