I was just wondering if anyone besides me has a Stoegers .22 Luger? I purchased mine new in 1973. It was stolen out of my house in the Fall of 1974. 19 & a half years later it ended up in a Pawn Shop in Nashville, TN. (I live in central WV). The pistol showed lots of wear, but still functioned like a champ. I still had the extra mag that came with it. I use it now as the one that came back with the gun was just about worn out. It's hard to tell what stories this firearm could tell in it's 19+ year journey.

This gun still shots a tight group at 50 ft. Not bad for a old "codger" of a pistol. By the way, when this pistol was returned to me the State Police told me that it had set a state record for being the longest time, (at that time), for a stolen gun to be returned to the first time owner.

Anyone else have one of these fine guns?

I don't have one, but that's freaking awesome that you got it back after 19 years haha.

When I got the gun back I was told by the State Police that is was sold to a pawn shop in Nashville. The only thing that I was asked was if I had got an insurance settlement on it. I did not and the gun was mine again. The pawn owner ran a check on it and was still listed as stolen by the ser. numbers. I have the report I received when I got it back. It says just about the same as I have told you. I have had it back sense 1993, and hope to keep the old girl for many more years. That is the best I can tell you about it.
