Last night, my wife and I both shot a real German Luger (date stamped 1936) for the first time.
I had always wondered what all the hype was about.
Now I know.
Wow....that's smooooooooth.
And pointable.
And handy.
And just plain feels good in the hand.
I like Lugers!
My wife says we need to get one now. She wanted to shoot one after she saw the History Channel's "Tales of the Gun" episode on Lugers, and remarked that the grip angle looked just like her Ruger MK II.
And she knew how comfy that one was, and was intrigued by a 9mm with the same grip angle.
So, when an older gentleman showed up for his CCW renewal yesterday, he brought a whole box full of range toys to shoot after he requalified with his carry piece.
And in that box was the Luger. When he found out that my wife wanted to shoot it, he insisted on waiting about 20 extra minutes until she got home.
And now, because of the dastardly actions of that old codger, my wife and I are Luger shopping.
It's a sickness, I tell you, a sickness!
