Just picked up a Erma .22 LA from a guy for $175, looks like it maybe was taken to the range under 5x. Did I do good /k/?
Also general luger thread. Post em if you got em.
Why did the germans keep using this piece of shit when they had Belgian High Powers, Spanish Star Bs, Walther p38, etc?

I'm guessing since they had a surplus from WW1.
>>30248254
You did Quite well.
I've seen them go for $300 usually.

It needed a larger magazine.
That's literally the only problem with it mechanically.
They needed a better manufacturing process as well to make it cheaper but regardless it was an excellent handgun.

Not bad, but be aware it's not a Borchardt action. Simply a blowback that resembles one in function.
Otherwise a decent score, and a fun little piece.

doesn't the luger not eject unless it has been fired? So if it has a misfire. The only thing you can do is recock and fire it again, until it goes off or you have to take it apart to remove the bad round.

No, the luger ejects live cartridges just like any other pistol. Who told you that bullshit?
>>30249148
You hear any ways to make it not a "piece of shit"
I heard the mag is garbage, and I was reading online of some guy that got an m&p .22 mag spring and just swapped it in the luger mag and it cut out almost all the jams.
>>30248261
Because they still had them while transitioning to the P38?
They werent gonna toss perfectly good pistols just because they were in the process of replacing them with newer ones, they're in a war, they need all their guns.
>>30249332
Of course a century old pistol mag may be worn out, if you buy modern replacement springs they should last indefinitely from limited use.

I'm jelly. I want a sort of luger to shoot a lot. In case you didn't know those guns do not work like true lugers. They just kind of resemble them. I heard they're not very reliable, but I still want one. I own several lugers, including a .380 Erma baby luger which is very nice.
