Stainless Steel Luger

[Kenneth L. Walters]

For a number of years various firms were making a stainless steel 9mm Luger. I think that Stoeger was probably the last. Is this gun still being made and if so by whom.

AFAIK, a stainless steel Luger clone is being made. A friend of mine bought one a month or so ago, and I think it is marked Stoeger. So far, it seems to work fine, which is more than can be said for most of the originals. Still, I don't think I would treat it as any more than a fun/novelty gun.

It was actually made for two companies by a third
outfit in Texas that isn't a standard gun company
but a manufacturing outfit. Unfortunately, I forget
the details.

They were said to be mediocre.

I sold mine over a year ago. Mine was a Stoeger American Eagle stainless Luger. Fit and finish were first rate, however, what a POS. The trigger was horrible (near 9 lbs), and it was a jam-o-matic. Accuracy suffered due to the trigger. To conclude, its a fun gun to look at, but not to shoot!

Stoeger lugers are out of production per the factory as of sometime last year. Mitchell Arms made a Luger, but they are also out of production, and currently banned, presumably because Stoeger owns the rights to the Luger design, and name. They are indeed jam-o-matics. My friend has one. It has been at the gunsmiths for over a year, and the latest word is that it cannot be fixed. There was some word of sending it to the original owner of Mitchell Arms to see if he could fix it, but I don't know if anything came of it. As it stands right now, it is a pretty paper weight.
