Re: Luger
Yes it is an LC9 but El Reg is not renown for its knowledge of firearms and one picture of a gun is equal to any other.
Personally I would go with the MAC 50, Browning Hi Power or in my latter years the Beretta 92f.
It would have been easier for this chap to have gone down to Lunnon and to have spoken with a few geezers down Morden or Mitcham way. He would then have had access to some of the finest firearms that the Balkan people ever produced.
Failing that he could have come to my local pub had a few pints and then walked across the road and bought any pistol up to 7.65 legally.
Muppet and a walt extraordinaire.
