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.

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.

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