Anybody shoot Lugers?

[JB Books]

I have a reblued .30 cal DWM. I shoot Fiocchi ammo through it and it fires fine. It's a pleasure to shoot.

Anyone else have a luger shooter?

I have a double date luger 1915/1920 I bought from SOG quite a few years back. The gun is a great shooter and oddly enough love the Wolf steel cased 9mm 115 grain ammo.

oops

I have a very nice, all matching, 1920 DWM police Luger that I occasionally shoot. It's one of the most accurate guns I own.

I'm taking my "shooter" 1938 out in an hour or so. Lots of fun. Unless a gun is a pristine, never shot, multi-thousands piece, I believe they should all get a bit of exercize now and then.


Back now...that was fun! Cold, but fun!

I have a Mauser (BYF) 41 Luger that was a Russian capture. Its a great shooter and very accurate. Its been 100% reliable.

I have a WWI 1916 shooter with all matching numbers. I like to use it as a teaching gun. The ergonomics are such that new shooters often shoot it quite well and quite easily.

My only Luger is a DWM in 9mm used in the early army trials that weventualy lead to the adoption of the 1911. I shoot it once or twice a year, but not much

I have a 1942 Mauser production example. It's got all matching numbers, and it's a good shooter, with some very light pitting to the barrel, but not enough to hurt it's accuracy too much. I don't shoot it much though, because until I get my hands on a loading tool, loading up the magazine is a real pain in the butt.

If for range use, get a repro LOADING TOOL for $10-12 bucks.

Where can I get a repro Luger for $12?

I think he means repro magazines

Have not shot it yet, soon I hope.
Tuesday night I got A 1937 German Luger, a Walther .22 German Nazi swastika marked trainer rifle.

I have a matching 1939 Mauser made one, I shoot it on occasion. Like 2-3 times a year.

 

[HisSoldier]

I have a Mauser 1972 (?) reproduction, Interarms. Two actually, one is .30 and the one I actually shoot is 9MM. Beautiful guns.
For another .30 luger chambered gun, a Benelli, I load 6.8 grains of AA7 behind a 90 grain Hornady XTP. Works well.

I meant a repro LOADING TOOL, which is what the poster ahead of me asked about.

Im confused on how these guns eject spent cartridges, it doesnt look like it has a slide.....Im really intrested in lugers, just never gotten to fire one, or hold one for that matter.....could anyone explain please? sorry for hijacking your thread....lol

Anthony,

The Luger does not HAVE a slide. It has a lower receiver and an upper receiver into which the barrel screws and the toggle action reciprocates. Known as the cannon. Animation at:

The rest of you guys, CUT IT OUT, you are going to cost me money. I sold my Luger to a collector years ago because the Canadian surplus ammo it shot reliably was exhausted and Remington would not run it. I know better now. And the .30 Luger is the only oddball cartridge that I have an irrational attraction to.

Thank you very much, that cleared it up, its a very interesting design....
