The Luger Rifle

ARGO: The Luger in and of itself was a fine pistol and what really made the Luger special was it's unique "Parabellum" firing system which also in some ways dictated the shape of the weapon which is a very popular design among gun enthusiasts. However, the Lugar's parabellum design was not without it's flaws, This mechanism worked well for higher pressure cartridges, but cartridges loaded to a lower pressure can cause the pistol to malfunction because they do not generate enough recoil to work the action fully. This results in either the breech block not clearing the top cartridge of the magazine, or becoming jammed open on the cartridge's base which is in some ways why the lugar parabellum design fizzled out. But here is a bit of good news for those who love that lugar look.
The Ruger Mark III Gnat which is practically the same size and shape of the Luger but without the parabellum mechanism and it also fires 22 cal which makes firing it affordable. I have both pistols and find the ruger to be every bit as fun and also it's extremly accurate. I use it for competition and let's just say I do very well.....
