There are guns you can’t find bullets to reload. Try a Swiss 7.62 Luger.

RE Swiss Luger:

I didn’t know those were ever chambered in anything other than 9 Parabellum.

Except for the two .45ACP Lugers used during the Army testing when Georg Luger put them up against the 1911. The so-called “million-dollar Luger” is still out there somewhere... last I heard of it, some guy in Texas had it in his collection... dude has over 5 thousand Lugers.

My old man brought back a long-barreled Luger P08, the Naval version, and also a Walther AP38; he gave them to one of my uncles when I was a kid, and they disappeared into history now... sigh... that Luger is worth some $$$$$.

Then there was the C96/M712 “Broomhandle” Mauser pistol, which was chambered for 7.63 Mauser originally, then they rechamberd them for 9mm Parabellum. They put a large red “9” carved on the grip so it was easy to distinguish.

That’s a pretty neat old hand cannon... especially the “Schnellfeuer” version with the snail drum magazine and stock/holster. I’d love to get one of those some day, but they cost a fortune.
