I own one of these and it's never performed well, anyone else own one? what are your thoughts on it?
>>27788152
I was under the impression that those actions weren't that good even with full size cartridges
>what are your thoughts on it?
Complete dogshit.

The Luger action works well enough if you keep your magazine spring and mainspring in mind, and you're not in a muddy trench-infested hell.

I have experience with them, some are absolute trash but mostly that's a magazine problem. Long barreled Stugers are more reliable.
I want one with checkered grips so damn bad.
On the topic of Not-So-Luger Lugers, how are the Erma 'baby' lugers in .32?
>>27788252
I'm not sure, but they look super interesting. I want one!
>>27788273
Me too, that's why I was asking. They're also not ridiculous expensive.
Also, it appears that the Erma ones are .380 not .32. Some other company built the .32 ones.

You may as well buy a plain jane one and then send a picture of the checkered scales and the scales for your gun to be cloned by a competent woodworker.
My gut tells me the Stoeger in 9mm would be a complete bedshitter, but I still want it.
I mean, would you just look at it?

Unless things are really out of spec it usually is possible to shine a turd into reliable enough for a range toy.
>>27788353
Why? The checkered ones run about the same price and I'm patient enough to wait til I come across a factory one.

oh you poor people.

Being able to spend $1,500- $2,000 on an original doesn't mean you have fat stacks, m8.

You can get a shooter grade for under four figures easy.

Personally, I wouldn't want to shoot an original. I hate shooting historical guns. If clones/replicas are available I'd rather shoot them. The thought of the guns lifespan going down with every trigger pull is kind of depressing.
>>27788808
We're not all as rich as you, MilSurpDude.
>>27788934
Eh, I'm in the middle with, I mean museums already have plenty of perfectly preserved guns and just having something to look at is a bit depressing. Why have it at all? I think shooting it occasionally with soft loads is a good middle.

The gun's lifespan is going down by merely existing. Might as well enjoy it.

I'm not even employed right now.
