Anyone been to the range?

[Dwight Gruber]

Newbie here, lurked for a bit, back into gun

collecting after a long hiatus.


Just picked up my first Luger (model 1900 Commercial,

all matching but very worn on a re-blue, riflings

pretty worn, has obviously had a long and active

shooting life), also an Interarms W. German Police

trade-in P-38.


Have taken them both to the range, in my hands the

Luger shoots a slightly tighter pattern than the

P-38, shot-worn barrel and all. I suspect that it

has something to do with the fact that the Luger

trigger is much more "squeezable" than the P-38.


I actually bought them both to shoot, I've been a

non-shooting collector in my time, and have come to

the conclusion that the community activity of

shooting is more satisfying than hanging iron on

the wall.


That being said, I think I'm looking for another

Luger (aren't we all??), a non-collectable shooter

which feels a bit less "delicate", to be my primary

shooting Luger. The 1900 may be low-rung condition,

but still, I'd rather not break a serial# part.
