I'm pretty certain I've shown this one before here on the Forum. This may appear to be a common VoPo mongrel Luger but originally really was Manfred Von Richthofen's Luger...I mean his own personal Luger! He had the left grip customized with his nickname as may be seen.



Anyway, I took part in an impromptu internet match on a private firearms forum. The match called for 10 shots at 50 and 100 yards with a pistol chambered for 9mm for a mystery handgun prize. Could be offhand or rested. Strangely, my 100-yard group was only 1/2-inch larger than my 50 yard group. Was still just good enough for me to squeak through to a win, partially because few other members entered. The prize was a rather nice Nagant revolver that I've actually had a lot of fun playing around with.


50 yard group. That pesky ol' spongy Luger trigger pull helped with a couple of fliers.

100 yard group


Anyway, not too bad for a mangy old Luger with such a pedigree.
