59 and 54 no matchy

@Militaryarmschannel

6 жыл бұрын

The toggle is locked to the rear thus obscuring the 54. If you look at the first picture of the serial number under the barrel you'll see the whole serial number is 5954. When you draw the toggle back and lock it, the 54 is obscured by the side plate. So yes, the numbers are matchy. :)

He asked after my check, if I may give it back to him, twice! I hesitated, but had too. All was very keen on to look at it and handle it. This guy was a proud owner of this gun. I should have run with it🤣.

One of the most beautiful firearms ever designed

When I was 8yrs old we visited my uncle near Merced, CA and he was out in his backyard workshop working on his WW2 Luger. I watched him take apart a magazine, set the spring down on a thin, flat piece of metal and mark the length with a scribe. The I watched him measure 1.25" longer and drill a couple holes and screw in a pair of small hooks, then he stretched out the spring and hooked it onto the hooks, heated it with a torch until it glowed red, then he dropped it into a bucket of oil. He told me this was to ''Refresh the spring tension''. I was 8, what did I know - lol but I remember watching him with peaked interest. He was my favorite uncle and I loved to visit him, he was always doing some interesting project, circa 1965.

As Ian McCollum said in one of his videos, Georg Luger got so many things just right on his revision of the Borchardt pistol. There's no big evolutionary chain between the Borchardt and the Luger. Kinda jumped from one to the other, then got small tweaks to the final versions. Also keep in mind that the reason the P-38 was developed was due more to the cost of the Luger, rather than it becoming obsolescent.

LOVE YOUR VIDEO, I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT LUGERS AS YOU DO. I first got to shoot a P08 back in 1964 when I was 12, it belonged to my older brother who was 16 at the time. Dad was a WW2 VETERAN of 9 Campaigns in the Atlantic Theater (8/41-8/45). I have a standard 4" army model, years ago I had 3 of them at same time (1915 DWM bring back, matching, 1940 S/42 Russian capture matching except grips and mag, original Mauser commercial made in 1960's on Swiss tooling. I had to sell them when in 2008 I was laid off with 19 years service with a FILM PHOTOGRAPHY company (TECHNOLOGY change). LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Thinking of buying a complete upper assembly for a Artillery Luger, it's almost $1800 which is a little Pricey but I'm 71 and LOVE LUGERS and the Artillery one is the Ultimate Luger to have especially if you LOVE shooting Lugers and being a ACCURACY FREAK like the Swiss who were the FIRST COUNTRY TO ADOPT THE LUGER IN 1900 BUT IN 30 caliber Luger, 9mm hadn't been developed yet. It came out in 1902. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 😉😃😄😃😄

I've always had a thing for shoulder stocked handguns, not because they're useful, but just because their cool!

Now that gun is in good shape! Looks almost brand new!! Good score!

Love the Luger. My dad has the regular short barrel version (family heirloom), all numbers matching. He'd like to get the artillery version, the old nutter. Will need to look into those magazines, though - thanks for the tip!

THAT is an awesome handgun

The dub step and slo mo of this german pistol just really brought back some memories of "sprockets with Dieter" for some reason. LOL My mind is special, I know.

Thank You for Time well spent!

As a native German I appreciate that many US guys like the Luger pistols. US and German arms, invented and made, are high quality guns and still working well even decades after those were made. I collect German and classic US small arms and got rid of all guns not made in the USA and Germany after 1945.. Greetings from Germany.....

The Luger simply fits super comfortably in my hand, great ergonomic for something made over 80 years ago. Oh besides that, I really like your shirt.

Great Luger, one of my favorites as well

Grateful for the video

That Monster plug, just beautiful.

Loving the added music. Keep it coming

Thanks for another great video.

That's some good long distance accuracy. I like it

That techno music goes surprisingly well with the Luger slo-mo.

That bit with the monster energy drink cracked me up , I about fell of the toilet !

Very nice P-08! I really like as well!

Excellent Classic Handgun review! No problems here with Mec-Gar Magazines in my standard 1936 S/42 Mauser made Luger. I've found standard pressure 124 grn FMJ reloads made with Alliant Green Dot Powder very nicely simulate actual 9mm WWI and WWII loadings and function perfectly. Missed out on buying a 6 inch Navy Luger, but maybe someday I'll get one of those.

I have the 4" brl.and it's within 300 of your serial number.It's one of my absolute favorites-really enjoyed this vid.

Epic slowmotion and pov view

Such a gorgeous firearm!

You both did good! Thanks for sharing :)

That shirt is honest AND cool!

Nice piece of history.

The Luger is an excellent pistol, every gun collection should have one!

I wish you shot the artillery Luger and the regular Luger at a stack of paper, to see if the longer barrel really gives it much more penetration/power....

Yeah I like the .357 sig pretty good, but I'm a big 10mm fan. It's definitely my favorite pistol round. It does have problems with over penetration, but this can be easily solved with high velocity lighter weight bullets (in the 130-140 grain range). The biggest thing 9mm has going for it is price.

Awesome shirt; beautiful Luger!

I really like the down-the-sights camera angles like at 5:58 ... It helps to get a feel for how the gun is to actually fire, and get a feel for the recoil impulse, too. Besides, an otherwise awesome gun with a wonky sight picture makes for some surprisingly bad practical accuracy, so it can be helpful in any buying decisions.

That thing is sweet!!! Would love to have that piece of history

Nice and professional intro. to the Luger concept. Also top notch shooting skills. Thanks, bring more stuff to us gun guys. Jess, Arkansas.

I bought one of the legends air guns at your suggestion! it's a ton of fun! Keep up the great vids and keep pushing for that Monster sponsorship!

So you can put a stock on any Luger? I thought only specific ones were exempt

Another amazing thing about the Luger/P.08 is unlike almost any other military sidearm from 1908 and earlier you can walk in just about anywhere that sells ammo and find something that works in it! Georg Luger not only made the Luger, he created the 9mmx19 cartridge for the P.08! The Luger fires the most common pistol ammunition in the world. I have two P.08s, a pristine, all matching, almost unfired 1941 byf (Mauser) and a FrankenLuger built with parts from 15 pistols. Of the major parts, the frame and toggle assembly are about 1913-14 DWM and the upper receiver and barrel are from a 1938 S/42 Mauser. As a starving student I bought "Frankie" in 1975, the cheapest, ugliest Luger in Phoenix, Az, but the darn thing functioned reliably when I took it out in the desert. What a joy it's been all these years and it still functions well today, using Mec-Gar mags and even Federal Champion valuepack (probably because I never changed the springs). After many thousands of rounds only one part broke over the decades, the big axle pin at the back of the toggle, an easy fix. This pistol continued to fire reliably with the pin snapped in two in the middle since the pin is captured and can't come out. I was impressed, you can't kill these things! I have never fired the byf which I bought in 1999 but think it's time now. It really looks brand new, I think it was kept in a drawer most of its life.

Favorite thing about the Luger is the giant "you're done" flag that sticks up so there is no mistaking it. (when it locks open, lol)

Really liking the reviews on the older guns. Not that modern gun reviews are bad, just cool to see how modern firearms have evolved.

Tim, last weekend I had a chance to shoot a Kel-Tec 9mm carbine suppressed. I was surprised by how much recoil it had. I was also surprised by how loud it was, about like a loud hand clap. It did NOT go"pew pew", it went 'bang" but much softer.
