    Hey, congrats on the Luger, Jimbob! What kind? Show us some pictures.

    I still have to pick it up. Its a DWM, mid-war rebuilt (not Russian Capture) with correct strawed components. Has two small mismatched parts (takedown pin and trigger) which really hurts its value but otherwise 85 to 90%. Also came with two original mags and a 1934 dated P08 holster in excellent condition stamped with the name of the warrant officer who brought it back (most likely as there are no capture papers). Pretty good for around a grand.

    I actually got sucked into two webleys, the uncut 1916 Webley Australian I had sent to Joe (really nice gun about 85% with some carry wear on sharp edges but awesome bore and tight lock-up). But he had a 1917 cut webley he only wanted $150 for, 90% finish, tight lock-up. I hehawed around a bit bit it was in really nice shape and figured it was worth the parts at least, unless i can find a cylinder. I can load downgraded .45 ACP loads if worst coms to worst.
     
    Sounds like a real good deal on the Luger, Jimbob. Nice gun, but not too nice to shoot. My 1916 Erfurt shooter (old reblue), once all-matching parts, ain't all-matching anymore, unfortunately. Last weekend at the range, I managed to irreparably break the serial-stamped toggle on the mag. I can get a replacement, but it won't be original and won't be stamped. Oh well, it is a shooter, but it burns me when I see what original WWI era mags are selling for.

    Cant enjoy them without risk. Mags shock me, all of the originals are out of sight!

    First Handgun of 2012

    Those are really good guns for the money. At first dont be surprised if you get some jams but after they break in one of the sweetest shooters ever. If the mags were not so expensive I would get another one for HD work.

    I picked it up used on a good deal and that gun fires like a dream.

    Ya I almost gave up on mine due to jams the first 4 or 5 mags. But after that..........awesome. Accurate, comfortable, reliable. Really thinking of one in .357 sig (I know but I love that caliber) for HD.

    I just broke down and added another Webley. Why did a nice, nice nice uncut Mk V have to come up, why! Oh well buy once cry once.

    I just wish my Rossi M92 in .454 would come off back-order. Good thing I didnt get that Nevada Campiung trip in last fall. Thats what it was for!

    I'm deicing between 870 or a pistol. If I can carry eventually I'll get the pistol, probably XD, PX4 SC or LC9. Tax return comes soon and I'll have to make a decision!

    Really interested in your opinion on this after a couple trips to the range (if you ever get it). Please let me know.

    Thanks
