Are Lugers for neo nazi fags?
>It's nazi so it must be bad
You know those things shot better than most pistols today? If they didn't have connotations to the nazi party they would still be major service pistols today.

Because any kind of safety is for pussies...
It's for fans of the era.

Are you a tranny nigger faggot?

Hunter S Thompson hated Nazis, but he had a big affinity for Lugers both in this video and in his writing.

Pls, the manufacture costs and lack of manual of arms familiarity with every other pistol, as well as the single stack nature (which admittedly could be fixed) and poor controls ergonomics (safety, lack of slide release lever, accessory rail) would doom it.
That said, they are great shooters for their day, I like mine.
>>29521406
Neo-Nazis maybe not, but there are a lot of fags who think they're amazing. They weren't even the best German pistol of their time.
>>29521406
they're for people who either appreciate history or unusual mechanisms
>>29521573
"No."
They shoot great, yes, but they're expensive to produce and very large for their capability. A Glock 19 has twice as many bullets coming out of the same size barrel in a package that's maybe half the size overall.
Plus, Lugers have all sorts of complicated machined parts that while stunningly beautiful are not nearly as economical as the stamped steel and molded plastic that make up essentially every part on a Glock 19 other than the barrel and slide. This matters because the skilled labor necessary to make a Luger is much more expensive now than it was when Lugers were actually being made. It would be impossible to make one in the price point for duty guns ($300-ish) That's actually duty quality. It also takes much longer in man-hours to make a Luger for all the reasons mentioned above.
There's a reason why almost every modern pistol uses a Browning-derived tilting barrel action, because it's compact, economical and effective.
Lugers are improved versions of the Borchardt pistol. Georg Luger was Hugo Borchardt's assistant, and unlike Borchardt, was willing to make improvements to the gun to win contracts. It's basically a generation 1.25 auto pistol.
As the first practical autopistol, it deserves its place in history and it's reputation, but technology has moved on since then.
Nazis have nothing to do with it, they were already on their way out as duty pistols when the Nazis arrived on the scene.
Also, as the first auto pistol, Lugers were already very popular in the United States when World War Two took place, which is one reason they were sought after as souvenirs.

Mostly.
They have great precision, though they are not very robust and easily break or jam... i use mine for swedish field shooting. It's a stunning pience of machinery however and i highly recommend it if you like historical weapons.
You need to remember where the Luger came from.
>>29521694
Yeah, what he said.

Very well put
Pretty much, If it were spanish or something i don't think people people would give a shit about it.
>>29521578
Lugers have safeties. . .
>>29521659
In 1917 there was a better german pistol?
>>29521659
>They weren't even the best German pistol of their time.
Oh they were. More reliable and quicker to re-load than the C96, smaller, more powerful, and more ergonomic than the C93.
>>29521766
Hey fatty I see you comparing Glocks to Lugers - fuck off fat fuck retard.
>>29521406
So just because I have shaved head SS bolt tatted bf who happens to own a luger
He's also faggot?
>>29524959
here's your response

>Lugers were already very popular in the United States when World War Two took place
This. The US even briefly considered the Luger as it's service pistol, only with a larger cartridge. As well all know the M1911 was the winner of the contest, with the Savage Model 1907 as a distant second.
Not to mention the pistol inspired Bill Ruger to make his iconic Ruger Standard .22LR pistol.
>>29521406
They probably have a hard-on for them, but a P38 or an M1914 (all my want) would be more a more apt choice for aspiring Stormfags.
Since we're on about Nazi guns, anyone else eyeing that new reproduction Stg.44?
>>29525516
Which one? The one that Ian-kun was covering hard for a time?
They look pretty interesting, but my cash is going toward a few other things right now.
>>29521406
Do you think white trash Naziboos of the trailer park can afford one?
>>29526067
Not sure, I don't watch FW as much as I should...
Hill & Mac Gunworks (HMG) is making one due out this summer in x39, .223, 300BLK and OG 8mm K. They did internal modifications to make the gun make more sense (HK trigger pack in place of complex original trigger and internal spring instead of one in butt stock)
>>29521406
Not if you get a VoPo
>tfw your grandad thinks he has a Nazi luger but you know otherwise and you don't want to tell him and ruin it
>>29525516
Really? I thought he said it was inspired by the Nambu.
>>29526488
Actually they both were, he liked how the Nambu action worked, but he liked the grip of the Luger.
I'm a Jew and I love Lugers.
They are mechanically interesting firearms. Not to mention historically interesting.
>>29521406
naw, they're just pretty and unique
>>29526191
The trigger group on the stg isn't really that complex, it just looks complex because of the washers they used to mount the pins to the sheet metal frame. Using H&K trigger packs is still a good idea from a cost control standpoint though.
>>29526572
Wasn't Simpson of Suhl a Jewish company?
They're firearms. Completely incapable of political opinion or thoughts. Can't hate, can't discriminate. They are just fine examples of the engineering and manufacturing capabilities of the time and place they were invented.
>>29527279
Yes it was originally.
Until the nazis seized it and changed the name.
>>29521597
Oh Hunter S Thompson you crazy bastard. Rest in peace
