What is the modern day "Luger"? In other words what

>>35091826
probably the p88?

Glock 17 gen1

>>35092021
Came here to post this. Look how much first production SAAs, Lugers, 1911s, and C96s cost.

>>35092021
Just picked one up a few weeks ago for $420 :)>>35092021

Desert eagle probably. It's the most iconic/distinct modern handgun.

>>35092081
What is the bottom gun here?

>>35091826
West German P226 maybe

>>35092081
that poly looks worm the fuck out my nigga

>>35092021
the grenade that launched a thousand memes

>>35092197
FUCK YOU. THE GEN 1 AND 2 17s ARE GREAT WEAPONS! WHEN IT COMES TO POLYMERS, GLOCK AND HK FOR LIFE

>>35092113
Is reading really that hard?

>>35092197

the glock 17l is basically a modern artillery luger

all you'd need to do is have a gunsmith put tangent sights on it and you're set

>>35092327
Weak Chin Glock!

>>35092021
This is unlikely. The kinds of guns that become valuable are the ones that are romanticized due to being featured positively in popular fiction, having been constructed with great skill out of fine materials, being the signature weapon of a famous military unit, or playing a role in a major conflict like World War II or Vietnam.

The Glock is a good pistol, but it isn't really any of these things. It is a soulless plastic gun that is made well but made cheaply, and it's only seen as a tool. This is exactly the opposite of what you want for a gun to eventually have value with collectors. The Glock is also not helped by the possibility of its frame eventually becoming brittle and eventually becoming unsafe to fire.

>>35091826
MK23 if it still counts

Although its already half as old as the luger, I'd probably say the S&W model 29.

>>35091826
M9,P1,Chippa Rhino,CZ82

Does the HK P7 count as a modern gun?

>>35091826
For me probably a Sig P230 in 9mm Luger. Made only for police for a very short time.

>>35092372
Chinlets- when will they learn?

>>35092559
>>35092599
Both good ones, high quality, modern guns with curioso appeal.

>>35092095
These are already pretty expensive, definitely going to rise in value

>>35091826
A Glock with a fuckton of Magpul accessories.

>>35092534
>this kills the dog

Mark 23, Beretta M9/92A1/92FS, HK P7, pre-Soviet Collapse P226.

That's about all I can think of.

>implying it will be anything but the USP

>>35092095
>implying those ever won't be made
>especially now that they're built only for the consumer market

>>35091826
Probably the SCAR.

The Beretta m9 once they stop making them or raise the price after losing the contract.

>>35091826
Got my Luger for 700

>>35091826
Probably the P210

This

>>35092519
I agree, the glock lacks character

>>35096563
>>35096181
this

P7, the other HK's from before the VP70 and the P7, the HK23, Classic European P220s and P226's, Benelli B76 (even has a luger-esque grip angle), maybe the MAB PA15 (shut up I like it) CZ 75 original (xd anime meme gun) but still the very original design was very well made, the best of the Smith and Wesson old Steel automatics, the P210 is already Luger status, The Walther P88 and it's various forms, and certainly the Walther P5. And all steel combat or service pistol, double stack mostly but a few Single stacks will probably become 5k for very good examples in maybe 5 or 7 years. With an exception for the American guns, those will probably take 10 or 12 years to reach 5K level considering how many have been swapped out for POLYMER. Any European combat or service pistol that's not polymer and not the P210 will be Luger status in roughly 5-10 years, grab em whilst you can.

This. especially the frame part. Metal just has a way of aging beautifully, where plastic wear every, single, scratch, nick, and scuff.

A safe queen can easily age 500 years before it starts to disintegrate, but any sun, shock, degreasers/certain oils, will eat the bonds.

These plastic frames are just another corporate tool to ensure they sell more shit in the long term. Its just planned obsolesce.


The Gen1 glocks will only have value because they were gen1 and no longer made. True valuable guns that are valuable because they are THAT gun are hard to predict. The Luger had ww2, the S&W29 had DIrty Harry, the Colt Python had Colt committing commercial suicide.

>>35091826
Colt snek guns.
Dirty Harry Model 29.
AR-15 maybe.
Probably none. Revolutionary is hard to acheive when development plateaus. Most pistols now are variations on a limited number of themes.
