In the first place the Luger was originally designed to fire the .30 Luger round. Later to meet German Army requirements it was redesigned to fire 9mm (124 grain bullets). However, 115 gr. bullets usually work fine in my 9mm Lugers if everything else is working properly. Try MecGar Luger mags...

Very nice Swiss 06/29. Too nice to shoot except occasionally IMO! If all matching numbers, you got a good one for your first Luger. But if you're like most of us Luger fans, your first won't ne your last! WB

I have Lugers in both 9mm & 30 Luger. I must say I enjoy shooting the 30 calibers ones more, especially since that is the caliber the pistol was designed for originally. I have not found the 30 L hard to handload. Don't believe the hype about having to use "hot" loads in Lugers of either...

I just purchased a Just Right 3rd gen. 9mm carbine, and I really like it. Accurate, lots of AR parts- forearm, buttstock, trigger group, safety, buffer tube. It takes Glock mags and can easily be changed to left-side ejection. I changed out the standard AR trigger group which was "stagey" with a...

What you have is a 1920's Commercial Luger in .30 Luger caliber in what sounds to be very nice condition & matching. Don't mess with it or you may destroy its collector value! Get yourself a relatively inexpensive 9mm Luger "shooter" (perhaps mixed serial numbers, refinished, etc.) to satisfy...

You have received a lot of great advice here, so I won't presume to repeat it. However, I will say that I like to use Lee or RCBS carbide die sets for pistol caliber reloading. Something I would emphasize is to isolate yourself from distractions (radio/TV; phones; wife &children; dogs/cats; etc.).

I've had a couple of P08 Lugers fire on toggle close at the range. It's very disconcerting to say the least. You've been given a lot of good advice here, but the best is to send it to Springfield for assessment & service. Bill

I want the new President to cancel the UN sponsored Treaty to make our gun dealers & sales subject to international control. In fact I don't want any of our country's internal policies/practices subject to international control. Bill

A common misconception about lugers is that you need to shoot "hot" ammo to get them to function- don't do it! Most Luger people shoot Win. whitebox, or medium power handloads in their 9mms. I also like to shoot one of my "Commercials" in .30 Luger. Try to get a spare "original" ejector and...

Congrats on finding a VOPO Luger on that price! They generally make good shooters, and Lugers are really fun to shoot. Avoid shooting "hot" ammo in them because some parts are delicate and hard/expensive to replace. Win. white box is usually good for Lugers. Please report back on your shooting...

Luger holdopen part Lugers function perfectly well without the holdopen (originally they were made without a holdopen); they just won't lock back after the last round is fired.

When I ran into this problem, I found that my holdopen lever spring had an incorrect bend which was making it sit too high in the frame thus causing it to lock back the slide with rounds still in the mag. Take out the holdopen mechanism carefully by raising the flat part of the lever (not the...

Just picked up a surplus Romanian Tokarev (1953). Have never reloaded for this caliber, and additionally I plan to use the new .30 Mauser (7.63x25) brass that I have which, if I'm correct, is interchangeable with 7.62x25. Please correct me if I'm wrong abut that. Anyway, my question is...

Luger O.K.- what you have is not a Commercial, but a military DWM possibly made in 1920. Looks nice from what little we can see of it in the pictures. WB

Commercial Luger It seems that you may have a 1920 Commercial (more commonly called Alphabet Commercial nowadays). The letter below the serial number is a suffix and part of the serial number. I'm guessing yours was made in the early 20's. The caliber 9mm was much more scarce than .30 in the...

Nice rifle! Good review on a beautiful rifle. I have a longer barrel version in .44-40 that I really like, but then I'm kind of a freak for the antique calibers. I have a Cimarron (Uberti) revolver in .44-40, & it's very nice also. :) WB

Reintroducing old designs Yes, the Luger P08 would be terrific; but talk about intricate design and not being cost effective! All the parts had to be carefully fitted on the original, and didn't usually transfer between pistols well. Even the magazines don't always work universally. Mauser...

32-20 The 32-20 is a fun old caliber. I have a Marlin 1894 CL and a Colt SAA in 32-20. I load fairly light loads with cast bullets for the Colt and heavier with jacketed bullets for the Marlin. It is really a hoot to shoot the old West calibers; 32-20, 38-40 & 44-40. :) WB

Anyone got one of these new PPK/S 22's yet? Would love to read a quick review if you do. My lgs just got two in, both blue; but, of course, I want the silver one (SS & nickel). So while I'm waiting, I'd like to know if the little puppy works reliably and whether it's accurate. :) WB

Stoeger Luger Thanks for the encouragement and congrats, guys. huntershooter- beautiful Lugers! Thanks for the pics. unspellable- thanks for the tip about the longer length loads. Jim- I said this was a shooter, not a collector's piece in my original post. I will say that this Stoeger...
