I've always had a thing for the Colt 1917. Found one at a gun show that had been chopped to 4" and fitted with Micro adjustable sights with some nicely aged stag grips. I'm still kicking myself for not picking it up for the princely sum of $250.
There is no taking cover from a Tok round, their penetration ability is legendary.
Not the ideal gun for modern self-defense situations especially if you live in an apartment, but for a strictly on offense combat handgun for hunting down your enemies it's hard to beat.
I like Lugers, but probably not enough to ever get around to buying one. I wouldn't carry one, I have no idea what is involved with making one able to shoot HP ammo.
Mljdeckard; go getcha one!
I have and shoot both the 29 Swiss and 1917 Arty(DWM) both shoot hollow points, 115 and 124 grn bullets, havent yet tried the 147?
One day I will get a 6" Luger and have the perfect carry pistol!
I have an idea of secure holster that incorporates no thongs,snaps or push
buttons,have even dummied it up,but it won't work yet IWB,but perfection for
on the belt or shoulder carry.The military style is only good for uniform service.
Compare the cost of a good shooter P-08 with almost any modern carry available,and don't sell yourself short!

I would have to have a Luger first and then a P38, Radom, and a High Power. No the 1911 isnt necessarily my favorite. When I was a little boy watching Vic Morrow in "Combat" I thought a 1911 was neat. Also Smith and Colt made a heck of a lot of revolvers in many calibers. The Webley might not be as pretty to some but it was a tough piece. Any of those might be neat to have. I would like to have a case of "Baby" Nambus though! What a lot of bucks!!!!
Would you pay $3k+ for one when you can get shooters for a third of that?
That's what it'll cost, the hand-fitting and assembly on them is ludicrously time consuming, and some half-assed near lookalike isn't going to sell well.
