Buy online or not
Do most on here buy online from good dealers or do most buy at shows or dealers where they can see and handel the luger? Just curious, would love to hear all your responses..

I return on average 3 out of every 4 Lugers I but on line, in spite of good pictures, most buys unless I know the seller, are not as represented...gun show and fellow collectors here and Luger Forum are some of the safest bets.....but Ed Tinked has called me finicky.....never returned one of his guns....

I have bought on-line, at gun shows and mostly from friends and other collectors.
When you go into gun shops, you either never see a luger or you see 1, same with gun shows. Once you get into the hobby and are trusted, it is amazing how many you get offered. Ed

I've bought several Lugers online and have been happy with all of them. Some of the well-known dealer's prices are too high in IMO.
