I have been searching for a while to add an FEG- Luger M80branded hi power clone to my collection. As it has been a long wait, I had been temped on several occasions to buy one of the FEG/Luger surplus pistols as they occasionally offered on Gunbroker. Most of the time the condition was rather rough to say the least. I have resisted the temptation, and now very glad that I did. Recently spotted on GB what appeared to be a commercial grade FEG/Luger in very nice condition with good bluing, great bore, and nice grips. Picked it up from my FFL this afternoon, overall condition is very and I am very pleased with the new addition. "all things come to those who wait"

Sweet! That is a handsome looking pistol. I just had my Luger M80 out shooting the day before last and it ran great - the most accurate handgun I shot that day. The trigger is so nice that I never even bothered to remove the magazine safety. Mine is a re-parkerized (black) surplus pistol that I bought from Cole Distributing on GunBroker nearly five years ago. It may not be pretty, but at less than $300 including shipping and FFL transfer, it is a contender for my personal "best all-time handgun purchase bargain". It came out of South Africa, I believe.  |

Man that is a real sweetheart, toddsig. I've wanted one for a long time but haven't been able to find one in that nice of shape. Really nice.

Thanks everyone for the comments and encouragement on the Luger M80. I had an auto search on GB for sometime before seeing this auction. When you can find them, many of the surplus Luger M80s sell/BIN on GB in the high 2s to low 3s. I purchased if for $457+ shipping, which given the condition and rarity of finding one with a nice original blued finish, I thought it was pretty reasonable. And, perhaps more importantly, it filled a hole in my FEG collection.

And, perhaps more importantly, it filled a hole in my FEG collection. Yes, I agree that was a reasonable price. Back in '09 I paid $415 for a NIB PJK9HP, so I think you did very well on your FEG Luger. Don't leave it around where I can get it - I have a well-established low tolerance for temptation.  JP |
