Lugars

[DraxTheDad]

Got these, both 9mm from my father.   He got one of them back in 1950's when painting houses, the guy who's house he was painting couldn't pay him and gave him the gun instead.   The other he was at a gas station a few years later and someone walked in with it asking if anyone wanted to buy it.  He paid $10.

They both shoot like a dream; very accurate.   The re-blued one isn't all matching, the other is.

Nice!  I bet that $10 Luger has a story that none of us want to know.

Had a co-worker bought a Colt 1911 for $50 that way. Guy needed gas money to get to work.

Dad sold his P08 for $300 back in 84 while I was on Ft Hood. I was livid.

I'm sure, but has been in my family since then.  Since I have two boys, each will get one some day.

Purchased my 1911 new, Springfield Operator, love the damn thing.   But it wasn't cheap.

I could never sell my Lugars, that must have hurt.   But I'm sure he had his reasons then... that was a long time ago.
