The Luger was not "rare" in WW2 it was the standard issue side arm of the german army, Allied soldiers were all desperate to have one as a souvenirs. It was considered extremely desirable.
Lugers need extensive caring, even small dust powder can lead up to a jam, also it needs high pressure ammo to generate enough force to fully work the action cicle. This is probably why most of the videos here it jams constantly, because people are shooting with less powerfull ammo, because it is cheaper. Nevertheless it is a gr8 firearm.
@errell111 thanks for the reply it was something i often thought about-my grandad brought one back from ww2(captured in france)complete with holster-he also had the same guys cigarette lighter inscribed with his name-number,and eagle crest-its still in the family to this day and in mint condition although i dont know what model i know it was a 9mm parabelum luger pistol with white letters of some kind stamped into it-my uncle now has it as he is a registered firearms keeper-regards john
@ryantwiggsmith909 WWII Lugers are actually worth more than their WWI counterparts, for some reason. An original with matching serial numbers in good, shootable condition could easily cost around $1500, if not more. Some models can go for tens of thousands of dollars. The "frankenstein" Lugers cobbled together out of spares can cost as little as $250.
@HerrOttoKranz You're quite welcome! It depends on the maker of the Luger if it is as replica. Krieghoff built 200 Lugers in 1999 in honor of its 100th birthday, each selling for about $18,000. If it was made by a local gunsmith or other professional, it depends entirely on quality and the authenticity, but they are not typically worth anywhere near as much as wartime Lugers. At most, they should fetch $500, but that is just a guess, since I haven't seen many live-fire replicas. Hope that helps!
nice pistols-could you tell me why most lugers ive seen here on you tube seem to have a problem with consistent fire meaning the toggle always has to keep being re cocked halfway through a magazine by the way love the colt 1911.45acp thumbs up
@legopercyjacksonfan1 Ha yeah, its a nice gun, Lugers are certainly some of most beautifully crafted firearms you can find, they sure as hell don't make guns like that now lol
@jrpeters5 Lugers rule. m1911's cant be beaten and i dont know what a p-38 is, hey did u see the vid of aguy who dug up the Sturmgewehr/Stg-44/Mp-43 in bastogne
@stuka52 dude the Me109 and the FW190 were both better planes than the P38 and the 190 was better than the P51d Mustang AND that gay ass P38 Thunderbolt as well as the Me109
@jrpeters5 just forming good habits, cause when you have your finger in the trigger guard all the time you're bound to end up shooting something you don't wanna shoot
@Paulmarti Yeah okay, this was a while back, the jamming problem is no longer there. I guarantee you still wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this gun, even if it still had the jamming problems.
@dantiel92 Why not? My Dad bought me my first gun (.22) when I was 11 years old, and my first centerfire rifle a year later. I got my .357 magnum for my 13th birthday. And my son was similarly trained and treated. ALL teenage boys should be trained in the safe and effective use of firearms, and also in archery, fencing and martial arts. It gives us confidence, builds our self-image, keeps us fit and makes us better lovers.
Also helps teach the youngins to respect firearms and know their capabilities, and they'll be less curious about them if ever put in a situation where a firearm is obtainable without supervision. As soon as my kids are old enough, I'll be teaching them firearms safety and training!
@horselips I take your point. But you are an American, right? I guess in the US that kind of upbringing is possible, but in Spain, my country, your would quite likely lose custody of your child if you attempted something like that. As sad as it sounds. I am 22 and I like firearms, but the closest thing to one I' ve gotten is a pellet rifle :(. Here you need a firearms' license (like a driver's license, including a sanity test), and on top of that my family happens to hate guns. Anyway, I agree.
@jrpeters5 Nothing wrong with being a liberal IMHO (as long as it DOESN'T make you think that ownership of modern weapons should be restricted to soldier-apes and police-monkeys.)
Replace every spring in the Luger and that will stop the toggle from hanging when it's being fired.Mine was doing the same thing.It has not missed a lick since.
U can own as many guns in Kalifornia as you want as long as they meet the legal list, yep, there's a list but no gun can have a magazine larger than 10 rounds even if it was a 22 cal. what a bummer.
@HerrTrigger00, well the most used pistol caliber is 9mm(parabellum), I think (M9, MP5, ... and so on). So you can say that the germans are the winners. But the Colt 1911 is just awesome - so yes, it won!
@HerrTrigger00 Ha, you can each one has a trade off, the M1911 sacrifices accuracy for reliability and stopping power and the Luger sacrifices stopping power and reliability for accuracy.
@eXpLiiiSiT The P51, P38, were better than the me109 and fw190, the p47 was about equal to the 190. We had better long range and medium bombers than the Germans with far superior tonnage capabilities. The me262 was a great plane but came too late. And yes we had many many more of everything.
@HerrTrigger00 that really doesn't mean anything, Germany had much better technology than us Hitler was a moron thats why they lost and lack of supplies but mostly being outnumbered by russia america britian canada and other countries.
@arm1207 Germany defiantly did not have better military technology than us, better technology in other places though. We spend too much money on the military for that to happen.
@NIN1024 they had more advance technology. We had our share but not as much as Germany. It doesnt really matter now but we do spend way to much money on the military :)
@TheSevenCamels yeah kinda on there part they where successful in the late 1930s but thats it but you have to give them some points, for such a small country with limited resources they did pretty good
@jrpeters5 I was just curious but after always hearing the positive stories of the Luger is it true about it's great accuracy and that it feels better to shoot than a lot of guns(due to the shape of the grip to easily fit in the hands) I just wanted to know if it is as good as they say it was because of how sought out it was by Allied troops and collectors.
@spazgecko Well, its accuracy is amazing, love that part about it. The design of the grip is meant to be very comfortable, most of the weight is in the handle where as the M1911A1 lots of the weight is in the barrel. In terms of reliability, not so much as you might be able to tell. Yeah, it is a really neat gun though.
@spazgecko your absolutely correct its a excellant well made pistol accurate as hell very funny about the ammo and have to keep it articulious clean and very close machinig no slop like in the 1911 a1 mark
@TheWhole9Yards1001 I live in Wisconsin. As far as I know, California is probably the strictest state when it comes to gun laws. Definitely gonna have to check how many you can own. Not quite sure what their laws are concerning the number you can own. My advice though is that if you really want to own guns, move to somewhere other than California.
@SuperOmegaPwnage No no not at all, the P-38 and the Luger were used by Germany and the M1911A1 was used by the U.S., the British used the Webley Mark V, the Japanese used the Type 14 Nambu and the Type 94 Sheki Kenju. And the Soviets used the Tokarev TT-33 and the Nagant M1895 Nagant revolver.
@SecretService80 Of course I missed a few, I knew that! I couldn't possibly name them all, but the Walther PP and PPK were much less common than the P38 and the Luger and I only named the sidearms from the major countries involved in the war, because Canada used the Browning Hi-Power.
I would run for president, but then I would be restricted. I'm a gun enthusiast myself. You won't be able to be one if Obama is president for another term.
@jrpeters5 'All you do is like to create a controversy or stir up trouble and may I start by saying that its quite pathetic. '
Thats quite an accusation. Especially considering YOU are the one who started the 'controversy'. If you hadn't made stupid, ignorant comments that smear an entire group of people as evil, then you wouldn't have 'slugs' like me commenting on your video.
@ExoticSpotting I am sure that I am wasting my time asking you to piss off but oh well that way when I block you for your troublesome posts that way I will at least have a reason for doing so.
@ExoticSpotting I am not trying to make you see my point of view however, when you come on here with the intent to cause trouble then we have a problem don't we.
@ExoticSpotting Don't worry he's an immature ignorant idiot who fails to see the other side of any argument. As far as I can see in the comments, he lost every single battle he got into.
Ok, to all my viewers, I appreciate the time that you take out of your day to view my videos. However, I have quite a number of annoying people who come on here with the intentions to cause trouble and create arguments. I am having a hard time understanding why we can't keep the discussion in the area that the video is focused on and better yet why we have to argue about it. I am all for debating but its gotten out of hand. If you want to complain about something do it on a blog. Thanks.
@ExoticSpotting Actually, its morons like you who come on here and post crap to stir up trouble, I have my own reserved opinions about things and when people make stupid comments I let my opinions be known. After all isn't that what debating is all about? However, the majority of the viewers that comment are not here to debate, they are here to cause trouble and argue. You apply to the latter. I would appreciate it if you would refrain from causing anymore trouble, I am asking you nicely...

@spazgecko Well, its accuracy is amazing, love that part about it. The design of the grip is meant to be very comfortable, most of the weight is in the handle where as the M1911A1 lots of the weight is in the barrel. In terms of reliability, not so much as you might be able to tell. Yeah, it is a really neat gun though.

@spazgecko your absolutely correct its a excellant well made pistol accurate as hell very funny about the ammo and have to keep it articulious clean and very close machinig no slop like in the 1911 a1 mark

@jrpeters5 where do u live?? becasue here in california, i don think i can have that many guns.. do u know if i can?
TheWhole9Yards1001 11 months ago
@TheWhole9Yards1001 I live in Wisconsin. As far as I know, California is probably the strictest state when it comes to gun laws. Definitely gonna have to check how many you can own. Not quite sure what their laws are concerning the number you can own. My advice though is that if you really want to own guns, move to somewhere other than California.

Did the Luger jam at all? I've heard lots of stories about Lugers being very unreliable.

@Phase9Productions that's the main reason it got replaced by the p38 what was a VERY good pistol.

@EddieDaOnly1 Luger was from a gun auction, P38 was from a firearms store, and the M1911 was from another firearms store.

i just realized that the slide on the p38 looks like the f92, another german innovation

@SuperOmegaPwnage No no not at all, the P-38 and the Luger were used by Germany and the M1911A1 was used by the U.S., the British used the Webley Mark V, the Japanese used the Type 14 Nambu and the Type 94 Sheki Kenju. And the Soviets used the Tokarev TT-33 and the Nagant M1895 Nagant revolver.

@jrpeters5 Don't forget about the Browning Hi-Power and the Walther PP and PPK.

@SecretService80 How do you see a Walther PP and PPK as well as a Browning Hi-Power in this video?
jrpeters5 1 year ago
@jrpeters5 I was talking about the list of weapons used in WWII that you commented about to "SuperOmegaPwnage." Those weren't on it.
SecretService80 1 year ago
@SecretService80 Of course I missed a few, I knew that! I couldn't possibly name them all, but the Walther PP and PPK were much less common than the P38 and the Luger and I only named the sidearms from the major countries involved in the war, because Canada used the Browning Hi-Power.

@jrpeters5 'All you do is like to create a controversy or stir up trouble and may I start by saying that its quite pathetic. '
Thats quite an accusation. Especially considering YOU are the one who started the 'controversy'. If you hadn't made stupid, ignorant comments that smear an entire group of people as evil, then you wouldn't have 'slugs' like me commenting on your video.
Didn't really think that one through did you?

@ExoticSpotting I am sure that I am wasting my time asking you to piss off but oh well that way when I block you for your troublesome posts that way I will at least have a reason for doing so.

@jrpeters5 I am not being 'troublesome', I am pointing out falsities in the claims you make.
If you don't like being questioned then fine, block me.
Silencing dissenting voices doesn't make you right.

@ExoticSpotting I am not trying to make you see my point of view however, when you come on here with the intent to cause trouble then we have a problem don't we.

@jrpeters5 'when you come on here with the intent to cause trouble then we have a problem don't we.'
I never came here 'with an intent to cause trouble'. I came here after searching for Luger videos, noticed your slanderous comments, and responded.
You can blame yourself for the 'trouble'. If you hadn't said what you said, there never would have been a backlash.
How can you not see that YOU are the cause of all of this?

Ok, to all my viewers, I appreciate the time that you take out of your day to view my videos. However, I have quite a number of annoying people who come on here with the intentions to cause trouble and create arguments. I am having a hard time understanding why we can't keep the discussion in the area that the video is focused on and better yet why we have to argue about it. I am all for debating but its gotten out of hand. If you want to complain about something do it on a blog. Thanks.

@jrpeters5 'I am having a hard time understanding why we can't keep the discussion in the area that the video is focused on'
Did you type that with a straight face?
You slander an entire sub group of people, ignore my rebuttal, and then have the gall to accuse other YouTubers of starting the controversy.
Go back and read your comments from that past few months, that should help you understand whats going on.
ExoticSpotting 1 year ago
@ExoticSpotting Actually, its morons like you who come on here and post crap to stir up trouble, I have my own reserved opinions about things and when people make stupid comments I let my opinions be known. After all isn't that what debating is all about? However, the majority of the viewers that comment are not here to debate, they are here to cause trouble and argue. You apply to the latter. I would appreciate it if you would refrain from causing anymore trouble, I am asking you nicely...

@jrpeters5 'I let my opinions be known. After all isn't that what debating is all about?'
If you think making ignorant comments that demonize an entire group of people is 'debating', than you need to consult a dictionary.
'they are here to cause trouble and argue.'
Do you really fail to see that YOU'RE the one causing the problem?
You yourself admit that the majority of the commenters on this video are in disagreement with the things you have said.
That should tell you something.
