Americans love guns.

Gotta have a pic.

...be sure and read Peter’s newest book “America’s Road to Fascism: From the Progressives to the Era of Hope and Change“

Sounds interesting...BUT, #2,757,945 in Books and it is begging for its first customer review!

Everyone knows you can't get two magazines through one of these without it jamming.

Sad state for such a pretty pistol.

I always thought that the Luger was a beautiful gun. Not the best mechanically maybe, but beautiful to look at.

The display of ignorance about Lugers on this thread is amusing. The gun in question is an early model, which is rarer and worth more than an ordinary military model from either world war, but the auctioneer has a questionable reputation in collecting circles. Somebody with more money than sense will buy this gun.

BTW, Lugers are ammunition sensitive, but 115 grain Winchester white box ammo usually works fine.

So what is so rare about this P08 Luger beyond his having owned it. It looks like a garden variety Swiss Luger in .30 Luger to me. Not common, but I wouldn’t call it rare. I don’t see what justifies the guy saying that if Hughes had used a “regular” Luger, as if their aren’t 500 variations of Lugers. But it is not as if this is the .45 Luger or something.

What makes this gun so unique? Isn’t this just one of thousands of Swiss Lugers?
