Not sure that they all wanted it, but a Luger is a well proven pistol that works reliably.

The proper name Lugar is more prevalent in the US, so that may cause confusion with the German gun designer Georg J. Luger(1849-1923).His name is popularly applied to the Pistole Parabellum 1908 semi-automatic pistol that he designed in 1898. It was manufactured beginning in 1900 by arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM). The 9mm version is the stereotypical German handgun of World War II.
The German Luger, officially known as the Luger P08, is a semi-automatic pistol designed by Georg J. Luger in the early 20th century. It's renowned for its distinctive toggle-lock mechanism and ergonomic design, which contributed to its popularity during World War I and World War II. The Luger was primarily chambered in 9mm Parabellum, making it a significant firearm in military history. Its unique design and historical significance have made it a sought-after collectible among firearms enthusiasts.
Amazing as it may seem, the holster for the German Luger can be worth as much as $300.
