Best Luger for collecting but also shooting

[The Cat]

Thanks, Jon - I'm going to look that fellow up. I'm also going to join the forum to which you linked - looks quite interesting.

You hit it when you mentioned how unwieldy the issue holster is. I've seen pics of Lugers with a thin strip of leather tied in the lanyard loop - like an early-day magpul and holsters with the flap cut off. German fieldgear pegged the needle on the cool factor, but sucked as far as usefulness was concerned. Lugers also fit perfectly in the large bottom tunic pockets.

Thank you for the mag advice too. I've messed around with just the type you're talking about, but I never paid any attention to the differences. Now, when I shop for more, I'll know what to look for

Apologizes to OP.

I have a 1913 DWM P. 08 that is a fine shooter. But Lugers were designed for stiff loads. They like them so if your hold open is not working most likely it is under powered.

I still haven’t gotten one!

My 1922 Swiss Luger (technically a Waffenfabrik Bern Parabellum 06/24) is one of the most accurate gun I own.





Obviously they are a lot easier to find here in Switzerland than in the US, and probably cheaper too. I paid $ 1000.- for it.
