Just bought some more Underwood ammunition. It's pricey stuff but if you're gonna have a self defense ammo, buy the best.

When I was in the Army in Europe, we were carrying the .45 for nearly two years and then they switched us to Sigs (Had to appease NATO) in 9mm. AT first I was mad as hell, but after a couple of trips to the range, I fell in love with the brand and have owned at least one, since the 80s (I retired in 86). I currently own a 226, a 237, a 2022 and a 220 (in .45). Honestly, one of the most accurate brands I have ever shot. |

I could not hold my erection in while looking at this Luger yesterday at a nearby gun store. Decided not to buy it but it bothered me all night. Went back today and snatched it up. It's a 1937 S/42 Mauser Luger P08. Very good condition with minor wear. No import marks. I found one small part not matching the rest of the gun. Everything else matches and the bluing is in good shape. I am concerned that I paid too much at $1500 though. I felt like it was more of a $1200 gun due to the one non matching part. Hopefully I can find a matching part since its a small part and abbreviated to "25". That leaves me with many options to find a matching "25". |

Boys this is why I carry a .500 in grizzly country. The guy blasted the bear with bear spray, which didn't slow down the bear and it kicked his ass....twice. He's lucky to be alive.

I always chuckle when someone bumps the guns thread after a horrible Chiefs loss.

FWIW, I would ask you which part is non-matching. It was not uncommon in the field for armorers to lose the toggle pin or for it to break. If it is stamped with a "42", then that is probably an official armorers replacement part and qualifies your Luger as "all matching" for collector purposes. From a purist standpoint, I enjoy having ALL matching numbers, including the toggle pin. But if that is what is missing 25 and has "42" instead, then you are "all matching" collectible. I can't speak to the price as condition is so important and I haven't priced Lugers in years, but your 1937 is late year, as the early year guns still had the strawing on the trigger and take-down lever like the earlier years had. Congratulations. P.08 Lugers are so cool. Last edited by Kaepernick; 10-02-2016 at 11:15 PM.. |

If I owned a gun I probably would have blown my brains out after that abortion of a game tonight.

10 years ago I might have thought the same, but it's become very nice to just let go of the hold football used to have on my emotions. I love it when they win, but I just don't let the losses affect me like they used to. Isn't worth it anymore.

Yep. Started feeling the same way towards the end of the herm years. Losses don't really bother me anymore.

Jealous as hell! That's nice man. Can I ask where you're finding all your WWII weapons? You buying more?
