I don’t remember any of them except I do barely recall Daddy killing a gator in Otter Pond with the Luger. He really was a great shot.

that Luger, along with the P-38, would fire modern 9mm Parabellum cartridges. In fact, the 9mm cartridge was developed by the Germans for the Luger pistol design.

The german sub machine guns of the period MP38 and MP40, also were chambered for the 9mm cartridge.
