I like 'em but I like other historical firearms more.
Anyway, "can't find one" is a shit excuse. Lugers are probably one of the top three collectable guns out there, if not number one. At any moment you can find examples from cheapo clapped out shooters to $$$$ rare variants and high-end commercial models. There will be dozens of them at varying price points at any major gun auction.
the trigger really does suck ass. And it's easy to see why. Look at an exploded parts diagram of the P08 and follow the train of parts back from the trigger to the striker. The number of parts involved is just nuts.
+1 on mec-gars as well. They improve a lot of feed issues since magazine spring tension is key to how a Luger works. If that doesn't fix it, get a spring kit and replace every spring in the gun with a new one.
How do you get it to function reliably? Mine's a jam-o-matic but I want to love it
I had one and it wouldn’t cycle reliably for shit even running the hottest ammo I could find, so I traded it for a model 10. I had a lot of trouble with failures to extract and feed, so might be worth polishing the chamber a bit, I just didn’t have the patience or the knowledge on how to do so at the time but if I had I probably would’ve kept it.
My complaint is they're big frick off expensive, even for non-matching, pitted, barely capable of being called shooters grade guns.
I keep my eyes open for one that is priced according to it's quality though.
I do have it's cousin, a numbers matching byf44 p38 though.
Problem is they're not only one of THE cult objects of gun culture but also required lots of machining.
Look at all those angles, radii and the complicated mechanism.
If a gun like this was made to day it would be upwards of $5000.
You can be a greasy dago and not worry a but. Your sweat is thick and oily.
For anglos our sweat can be watery and extremely salty, it's basically seawater.
Didn't use to like them because I'm a broomhandle simp for life but it's grown on me. Both are leagues more elegant than the p38. Lupin III had shit taste.
Also still butthurt 9mm para won out out 9mm mauser export.
Just look at this absolutely unit
Any lugermaniac is doing themselves a disservice id they haven't read about Adolf Furrer, the madman of Bern.
A man so maniacally obsessed with the luger he made a career out of designing toggle locked everything.
This is his 20mm semi automatic toggle locked antitank rifle
anon ill be honest i dont know what the frick to look for, dont get me wrong a 9mm one from ww1 or ww2 would be sick who wouldnt want one of THOSE but...I keep seeing these small ones at the local cabelas, 800 dollars, supposedly chambered in .32 acp. now that would be fricking sweet but im not aware of any .32 acp toooooooogle lock guns.
The P08s are actually fairly affordable because they are common. It works out that the best version to get is also the most readily obtainable.
The 32/22 Erma pistols are actually just blowback with a superfluous toggle that doesn't lock. It's just there for aesthetic reasons. They are also total junk guns that don't work well, don't last long and are a nightmare to fix. If not for the fact that they look cool they'd all have been destroyed in gun buybacks by now, and a lot have.
they are very accurate
my dwm is my matchpistol
This too. Mine is a laser beam once you get used to the sights. None of my other pistols shoot as well.
For a Luger it's anything under $1500. The rarer models will easily sell for 2-5x that. A normal person can save up enough for a P08 if they really really want one, but dropping say $7000 on a gun doesn't make sense unless you are pulling in boku dollars.
I've owned two Lugers at this point, both of which were P08s. First one cost me $1300 and my current one I got lucky and scored it for $825. The deals are out there.
Not just cant find one but cant find one at a not exagerated tarded price. Fricking boomers overpricing left and right because this is a genuine so and so and special edition super limited officers marking blah blah yet nothing matches and its been refinished. I just want a shooter bro.
>Luger
It's not even the coolest 'bad guy' gun.
Embrace your heritage, anons. Blast a Black person (or a ((N*rtherner)) ) in the skull with a shotgun revolver.
I got a 7.65 Danish war reparations import about 10 years ago for a birthday present. My father-in-law bought it at a gas station in the middle of bum frick nowhere Washington on the mid 80s on a road trip.
I just checked GunBroker completed auctions and there have been several P08s sold under $1500 in the last couple of days.
Look around gun shows, check all the stores when you travel, browse around forums and talk to boomers. If you have cash in hand you'll stumble on a deal eventually.
Luger 45 2022 shipment is going out soon. There are still remaining slots for pre-orders. Get them while you still can, as the next batch will be ..... quite different in quality, let's just say.
I knew a guy who had one when I was a teenager. My dad worked with him and he took us shooting hoping to get my dad into guns. He failed but it was fun for me to get to shoot one. I wouldn't buy one. For WW2 pistols I've got an M1911A1, a Webley, Tokarev, P38, M1903 Pocket Hammerless and Nagant. If I get another German milsurp pistol I'm getting a C96.
I don't have one, but I've shot a few. They are nice.
Grp angle is nice, trigger is ass
I like 'em but I like other historical firearms more.

i got one of those 70s production Mauser ones and that one has an amazing trigger. I can understand why wartime production guns wouldn't though.
We get it, you overpayed for a jizzlee
>Do you have one
yes
you gotta stop using those anime targets, anon. real people's heads aren't shaped like that, you're training yourself to shoot too high.
>in an alternative world
Where is this image from
I mean, the artist name is right there, but
Blue Rivers Revolution
no, i dont have one
They look cool but thats about all they're good for
they are very accurate
my dwm is my matchpistol
Have an Erma in 22 it is such fun and the balance is better than the real deal.
Still want a real one.
How do you get it to function reliably? Mine's a jam-o-matic but I want to love it
Really? I don't have any issues and it eats anything. Sorry to hear rim fires always a bit fussy.
I don't do anything special or even cleaned feed ramp etc just works fine I bought it used.
124gr bullets helped mine. It eats 115gr fair enough but the action wouldn't lock back on empty.
mec gear mags fix most of the feeding issues
+1 on mec-gars as well. They improve a lot of feed issues since magazine spring tension is key to how a Luger works. If that doesn't fix it, get a spring kit and replace every spring in the gun with a new one.

Love em, manage to get one from local gun show
It's an outdated piece of tech. My money would be better spent on a glock.
Already have a glock, just wanted a luger so it can go with my imperial german collection it has more soul than a glock to display
I mean yeah if you were barely getting your first gun dipshit. If you already have a glock though thats pretty fricking dumb. You sound new and dumb
Selling a MAK-90 to buy one
If I owned one, I just know it would rust on contact with my skin, so I would never touch it.
I'm the greasyest mother fricker around and mine has been fine
You can be a greasy dago and not worry a but. Your sweat is thick and oily.
For anglos our sweat can be watery and extremely salty, it's basically seawater.
Have you tried not being the world's sweatyest man?
Really I have.
It's awful.
It flows like water.
Plus side is it really does work in the heat while my good dag friend who just gets greasy suffers
Antihydral my sweaty friend.
Nice to look at but I'd hate to own one
Don’t care.
If we’re talking vintage krautpistols, I’d rather get a nice C-96.
I refuse to own a gun that white supremacists used to hurt POC, women, LBGTQ and Hebrews
Go back
>do you have one?
Yes
>complaint
All of my complaints are just due to the shortcomings of the time (safety location, single stack,etc)
I would love a double stack model with a full bull barrel suppressor, but I don't have the cash to throw at Lugerman.
Didn't use to like them because I'm a broomhandle simp for life but it's grown on me. Both are leagues more elegant than the p38. Lupin III had shit taste.
Also still butthurt 9mm para won out out 9mm mauser export.
Just look at this absolutely unit
Yes
>complaint
Original mags are expensive as frick and all the repro mags suck ass,except macgar but they haven't done a run in awhile
Why yes, and it's awesome.

yes i have one and i also have one of these on order. its taking forever to get here

>Can't find one
Anon, it's not that I can't find one, it's that I just don't want to pay an $800 boomer tax for one.
anon ill be honest i dont know what the frick to look for, dont get me wrong a 9mm one from ww1 or ww2 would be sick who wouldnt want one of THOSE but...I keep seeing these small ones at the local cabelas, 800 dollars, supposedly chambered in .32 acp. now that would be fricking sweet but im not aware of any .32 acp toooooooogle lock guns.
Those are made of a zinc pot metal and are notorious for cracking frames

Simples innit
tfw i overspent on a nice one but now im too afraid to shoot it
Shoot it fricker. Guns exist to be used.
>Luger
It's not even the coolest 'bad guy' gun.
Embrace your heritage, anons. Blast a Black person (or a ((N*rtherner)) ) in the skull with a shotgun revolver.
>loading lever flops around with every shot
teehee, silly boy
I have one. My complaint is that because they don't radius inside cuts on small parts, the metal can be prone to cracking. I like it, though.
I got a 7.65 Danish war reparations import about 10 years ago for a birthday present. My father-in-law bought it at a gas station in the middle of bum frick nowhere Washington on the mid 80s on a road trip.
It's just so beautiful.
1918 DWM #298
Man I'd love to find a deal like that.
I dont find any around my home town and when I go online I can find any model under 2500$
I just checked GunBroker completed auctions and there have been several P08s sold under $1500 in the last couple of days.
Look around gun shows, check all the stores when you travel, browse around forums and talk to boomers. If you have cash in hand you'll stumble on a deal eventually.
I don’t like Lugers that much.
Luger 45 2022 shipment is going out soon. There are still remaining slots for pre-orders. Get them while you still can, as the next batch will be ..... quite different in quality, let's just say.
>t. Lugerman employee
Why would you advertise that quality is about to go down the shitter? Also are you the guy we ordered pizza for?
I knew a guy who had one when I was a teenager. My dad worked with him and he took us shooting hoping to get my dad into guns. He failed but it was fun for me to get to shoot one. I wouldn't buy one.
