Pistol: 1915 DWM Luger - Military Issue 9355a SES
Ammo: 9 mm Remington 115 Grain FMJ Luger
Range: 25 Yards
Group: ~ 2 inch
Rounds fired: 20 rounds
Trigger pull: 4 lbs
I got this luger for $450 at a gunshow from a very nice Vietnam Vet who traded and collected war items... I talked to him for a while and I told him that I have also served in the US Army, and he showed me how to disassemble and reassemble this luger. The number is all matching (everything including the firing pin and grips) with decent barrel (inevitable black pitting due to age).
I took it to the range today not knowing what to expect. And I fired 20 rounds, with flawless feeding and ejecting, extreme accuracy, and the recoil was mild. It is probably the most accurate 9 mm I have shot, even more accurate than Glock G26.
I have compared it to the WWII P38, and man... the luger is twice as accurate and well-made as the P38... No wonder most higher ranking German officers opted to carry lugers during WWII than P38.
They don't make pistols like the luger anymore... the gun was hand-machined/crafted with such precision and tightness that it is almost a piece of art.
I am passing this piece to my grand kids.
