At some point almost everyone wants to own a Luger. In my opinion, probably the best Luger choice is the Model 1929 Swiss Luger.
Here's mine. 
Here are a few reasons why you should think about the Model 1929 Swiss Model 1. The Swiss never used corrosive ammo. All of the Swiss guns have good bores and are in excellent condition. 2. Spare parts are still available in Switzerland. ( If you break a part on a German Luger, you may be SOL) 3. The Swiss pistols are chambered for the 7.65 Parabellum. The Luger was originally designed for this cartridge and it is more reliable than when chambered for the 9mm. 4. The Swiss Luger has a superb trigger and is a marvellously accurate shooter. 5. The Swiss Luger is probably the sweetest shooter ever. 6. The Swiss Luger has a no nonsense low lustre finish, but inside it is a miracle of Swiss workmanship. The internal tolerances are insane. 7. The Swiss also improved the toggle train |

The monstrosity is called a "Schluger". It is a schmoed out Luger. It also consists of a schmoed out Walther GSP. Anyway, the reason why someone would build such a thing is that without opening one's mouth, one could be readily identified as an idiot. But it would be cheaper to get a custom t shirt made. One that says, "I am an idiot" |

I've got a Finnish Luger still chambered for 7.65 Parabellum. Is there any source for ammo? I've only ever seen a couple boxes at a gun show. Starline makes the brass. Sierra makes 85 grain bullets. I load them using Unique powder and it works like a charm. |

BTW very nice Luger, |

I almost had a trade worked out for one back around 1984, but the owner backed out because his father had captured it and he thought his mother would be upset if he traded it for something more useful for home defense, like a Browning Hi Power. |

BTW very nice Luger, Not to worry. No offense was taken. Swiss Model 1929 Lugers are less collectible than German Lugers. And that is part of the reason why Swiss Lugers are so good. There are many unscrupulous folks around who make a dishonest dollar by faking Lugers. Many unwary folks buy reblued Lugers or Lugers that have been messed with. The Swiss Luger had a plain finish and it was never a super high dollar collectible. There's less reason to reblue or to stamp fake markings on a Swiss Luger. So when you find a good 1929 Swiss Luger, you are almost certain to get an original pistol that has not been messed with. You are also getting probably the most accurate of all the Lugers. And finally, Swiss Lugers never saw the rigors of combat or corrosive ammo. So in summary, the Swiss Luger buyer is getting the best value for his Luger dollar. He is also getting a collectible pistol that can be used without worry |
