What the hell is it with Lugers?

maxmanta · 03-12-2005, 01:38 PM

I just bought a Mauser S/42 is so-so shape three days ago. Now I just put a $200 down payment on a 1920 .30 commercial. I just have to have it!

What is it with Lugers?

I have the same problem with PPK's.

You in big trouble, boy.

It's called Lugeritis. It's incurable. The sympoms are fever, cold sweats, and an uncontrolable urge to reach for your wallet when someone even says "lug"wrench.
I went to a Therapist. Now he owns more Lugers than I do.

Maxmanta, relax and enjoy it--it's only a "crisis" if you look at it that way! I do know what you mean though; after owning and shooting many of the different types of firearms over 30 years the Lugers grab hold like no other! Enjoy!

Ron, I think you'd be better off paying for your own lugers, rather than your therapist. TH

Could it be he's been trading his Lugers for the treatments? That could explain a lot!

Ron Smith · 03-15-2005, 11:02 PM

I just do what the voices tell me too. I am an Ex- Postal employee ya know!

I am confused? Never trade a luger except to get another! Unless that is what you meant, then Ron's voices are confusing me!

Actually, it looks like I'm going to have to consign the S/42 for the 1920 commercial. I already have a buyer lined up who will give it a great home.

You can't really appreciate Lugers until you've studied one in person. They're easily one of the most beautifully made handguns ever made.

Ron don't pay any attention to us. Their just jealous cause the voices only talk to you!

There is no question that the Luger is the finest-crafted military-issue auto pistol of all time. I appreciate and enjoy the engineering and craftsmanship it took to produce this fine pistol, and the history associated with it makes it that much better. I fired my only Luger for the first time not long ago, and was thrilled and amazed with it's function and accuracy.
