chollie is an unknown quantity at this point
One thing not mentioned is that the Luger had a very slight taper to it's bore, whereas the P.38 did not, nor so far as I know did any of the other 9mm's.

I agree the Lahti was not a copy as it's action was quite different to the luger and, as has been posted, was more reliable in rough conditions and definitely less prone to jamming. I have fired both with factory ammo' (and home made) and the luger always jammed through misfeed, while that was a rare ocurence with the Lahti.
