Show us your "shooter" lugers!
Many of use recommend that matching guns not be shot, some take this to heart and buy "shooters", or put them together, or save mongrels from the ignominy of being converted to parts!
Here are my shooters, each has a story of why and how it came to be. To achieve "shooter" status for me, a pistol must be 99% reliable, some matching guns won't achieve shooter status! Many shooters require patience and effort to make them reliable. These four have made it; I have a couple more that need tweaking to achieve reliability. You can see that they comprise 4", 6", and 8" pistols. The artillery is a commercial made barrel on a 1917 DWM upper on a Mauser frame. The Navy is an original '06 frame and toggle train, with an '06 original barrel in a Kreighoff receiver, some of you may have followed its resurrection in my "basket case" thread. The 4" DWM commercial(upper left) is in 7.65mm , and exception in that it is mostly matching, and is an infallible shooter. The 4" 9mm is a Mauser G date upper, mismatched Mauser S/42 toggle train, on a '37 Mauser lower-it is also totally reliable. Now let's see yours!
