The Luger does have that sex appeal...damn they're beautiful.
1911s are natural shooters. Powerful. 'Murican.

I'm lost. I'll just give Bernie the money and let him decide. I'd hopefully not have to wait 10 years tho.

YEAH! Arguably the longest serving military issued handgun in the world, and still serving among some U.S. units. It's making a comeback. There's a good reason for that!

Absolutely right L}{C...but the 1911 was the "victor", twice!

Actually Dannyboy, if you want to get technical, the 1911 is not making a comeback. It is the 1991 that is rising up in prominence. It is the 45ACP that is making a comeback.

Am I splitting hairs here or what

Actually.. 9mm is the one making a comeback. With the hot loads & mag capacity, all police departments at least in my area are switching back from .40'a & .45's, and so are the FBI

Greatguns, you hair-splitter!

You're right however, but for all practical intents and purposes it's still the same design.

Worm there was a time when I had very little confidence in the 9mm round as a police or self defense cartridge because of what I had witnessed when I was a cop. I always carried a .357 magnum for that reason, the magnum round can hardly be cast in a marginal category.

But I have also seen a busload of improvements in 9mm ballistics for at least the past decade. There are still some that berate this old cartridge and I now believe that is a big mistake these days! The 9mm is a much more serious contender than it was back in the day.

I've had some folks jump on my back for trusting a Glock 19 in 9mm. They end up spouting the merits of 357 sig, the power of 40s&w, etc. It always ends the topic quickly when I offer to let me shoot them with the 9, to see if it ruins their day.

For as much as I fellate the 1911, I can see where contemporary forces might consider it obsolete. Doesn't the modern mantra within military/police/security units laud capacity over projectile size?

I know when i was in the Marines, the officers etc had some Barreta 9mm and they freaking hated it with a passion.

LOL...there are some 9mm rounds on the shelves today that are bad to the bone, I would not have accepted that offer either Blicero!

Blicero · « **Reply #30 on:** March 22, 2015, 05:13:17 PM »

Well, the question is settled. I won a Luger last night...early this morning actually. Big mistake on the seller's part letting an auction end first thing Sunday morning. That cost him money.

Dannyboy53 · « **Reply #31 on:** March 22, 2015, 05:20:33 PM »

Congratulations sir!

I knew you wouldn't be able to hold out for the right ww1 1911.

Blicero · « **Reply #33 on:** March 22, 2015, 10:46:16 PM »

I'm sure everyone who knows me who read this thought the same thing. Yeah right that Nazi scumbag would never turn down a Luger why is he even asking???

I already have a Colt waiting in the wings for me though.

Justin Hell · « **Reply #34 on:** March 22, 2015, 10:58:57 PM »

Luger....just because it is naughty to be American and lust for them.

Donp236 · « **Reply #35 on:** March 23, 2015, 12:00:45 PM »

I couldn't vote for either. But then I like the P.38 pistols.

Greasemonkey · « **Reply #36 on:** March 23, 2015, 01:08:57 PM »

Yea, I couldn't either, a P38 would have been different, heck even a Broomhandle. Or a Mannlicker

M1903 Pistol

Even, a Femaru

would have been a super cool purchase.

But the wallet that be, spoke, well actually thru a pissy fit, and alas, it's another, Luger, it is, what it is.

I'm still trying to locate and get him a Hitler "FatHead" to mount over his bed.

Blicero · « **Reply #37 on:** March 23, 2015, 06:35:24 PM »

I'm trying to find the part in the thread where I asked if I should be looking for a p38 Femaru or broomhandle.

I'm so sorry to have bored you with my options.

I reckon moving on to another thread if you don't find 1911s & Lugers a compelling enough choice would've been too much to ask.
