VOPO and Russian captured guns are still cheaper and usually good shooters. The parts have often been force matched after fitting, which is more important for a shooter than matching numbers.

Most VOPO guns have been fitted with Czech made barrels and I was told that those came from the same factory that made P.38 barrels during WWII. I have one of my VOPO P.08s with such a replacement barrel and the spend brass has a nice "Mauser ring" impressed on it, just as it should be. Since I shoot my Lugers, I have been buying small spare parts for them, as I have for most of my guns.

That 1942-made Luger pistol that has only been dipped and the barrel replaced is one of my best shooting handguns, in performance very close to my P210-4.
