That's a reproduction holster!

Here are some possible causes of reset issues on a Luger: 1. Weak trigger return spring - easy fix - get a replacement from Wolff gunsprings and install it in about 1 minute. 2. The "L" shaped lever is bent, not lubed properly, gummed up, or etc. 3. The back of the "L" shaped lever should be beveled slightly where the sear plunger must slide under it. It may be worn, have a burr, or etc. 4. The sear plunger may not be moving sufficiently freely - gummed up, not lubed properly (over or under lubed), possibly even bent but that's unlikely. Or the spring behind it may be worn. Get a very small punch, drive out the retaining pin, clean the plunger up, inspect the spring and replace if needed, lightly lube, put it back in. 5. Some folks with this issue find it helpful to put a slight bevel on the front outside of the sear plunger (just take the corner off) to help it slide back under the "L" shaped lever. Hope this helps.

Well, I've heard some people call this Luger a cursed gun. But the Luger was used by German military in the very early 1900's, well before WWII obviously so I just admire the gun for its craftsmanship. I really can thank my uncle for teaching me at an early age to respect and appreciate guns. I'm probably never going to get a huge collection, though. Just like looking at them, I'd love to go to a gun show Derringers are very nice too

@LifeofCharles

I still have a little more range footage and there is a educational/instructional video on P08 Luger basics in the works!

Dont really know why but ive always loved these pistols.

Nice.

There is a lever attached to the side plate. Sometimes if it wears or not original, it will not fire. The end that the trigger touches needs a small shim to take up the difference needed. Mine had this issue. A video shows the easy fix. A small strip of aluminum from a Coke can wrapped around the lever is what I did and works perfectly. Correct fix is replace the lever which needs to be fitted. Using the strip of aluminum helps determine if this is your issue.

Nice P.08. I have an S/42 from 1936. I was able to capture video of a ring of fire coming out of my luger.

And if all that fails, you might replace your trigger bar (sear) spring. That spring actually translates reset movement all the way back to the trigger.

that is GORGEOUS! I'm jealous. My dream pistol there bro. Is it picky on ammo at all?

I had the same problem with mine 1918 DWM and managed to resolve it quickly with a small piece of metal (4mm * 9mm I think and 0.2mm thickness) under the side plate, in the middle of it, to slightly compress the sear bar and move it inwards. With that the plunger of the sear bar always moves under the trigger lever when I release the trigger, after each shot, so it is ready to pull the trigger again... hope this helps!

Lugers are cool. I have a WWI one that is all numbers matching except the barrel. At some time in the past someone decided they did not want it in 9MM and must have had a custom barrel made for it (since it's definitely not a luger barrel) converting it to .30 luger for some reason.

Excelente arma y programa felicidades

Awesome pistol to shoot especially a classic Parabellum Pistole 1908...

I actually use a 8mm Mauser casing to push down on stiff luger mags, the rim of the case acts like a speed loader and doesn't scratch or harm the magazine

I love this Gun.

Beatiful Gum.

Ya know, just by looking at the video, you might be able to solve your trigger reset issues by cleaning up the trigger pivot pin recess in the frame and recess in the cover plate. You might also replace the trigger spring (the one behind the trigger). I wouldn't put up with systemic malfunctions. If you can't fix it take it to a good gunsmith.

+Donraja786 Not really. Granted when it was first introduced in 1900 people had no idea what the ideal autoloading pistol was but better pistols would come along very quickly. Browning gave us the 1903 Pocket Hammerless which was a great handgun but was chambered in .32 ACP (though .380 ACP chamberings were available later.). The Imperial German Navy adopted the Luger as the P04 in 1904 and the German Army adopted the Luger in 1908, as the P08. The only real advantage the Luger had over other autoloaders of the time was its 9x19mm cartridge which was more powerful (and one the most successful accidents in history) and of course the Luger is much faster to reload than any service revolver. The P08 Luger forced other nations to look at autoloaders as a replacement for their revolvers, and even within a few years, better designs were out. I mean, the 1911 is literally right around the corner...

If all that fails, there is the possibility that the top of your L-shaped trigger bar is not mating correctly with your trigger bar plunger. It could be that when you release the trigger, the top part of the L-shaped trigger bar is not moving enough and the trigger bar plunger is depressing against it rather than coming to rest under it. Then, when you push the trigger forward, it moves the trigger bar out of the plungers way and the plunger snaps into place underneath the top of the L-shaped trigger bar (where it should be).

Beauty!!!

Impressive

Its a beauty

I have 2 Lugers (a 1923 DWM Finnish Tikka and a Mauser American Eagle 29/70 made in the late 1960s, both in 9mm) and they both absolutely refuse to feed Winchester White Box. I do get perfect performance in the DWM (and near-perfect performance in the Mauser) however, with Federal Champion 115-grain FMJ. Since you're getting 100% reliability with the Winchester, are you using a certain strength of recoil spring (that you know of?) I do know that WWB is hotter than the Federal (I've chronographed both.)

Sehr schönes Teil 👍

Nothing makes me happier than watching a knuckle brake on a PO8

I wish they made exact replicas of most WWII firearms. It seems so hard nowadays to find an authentic P08 or anything similar. Commercially, I believe it would be a great venture.

@LifeofCharles

PK PK I doubt if such a venture is financially viable. The P08 is such a labor intensive pistol to make and a new commercial model would likely be just as, if not more expensive, than a vintage piece. Same could be said with C96 pistols and many, many others.

_+Charles' Milsurp Firearms_ Perhaps the P08 wasn't a good example, however there are others. Even non-WWII firearms would be interesting to see. Could you imagine taking a newly produced Martini Henry out hunting? They could have other calibers rather than just .577-450, I would enjoy using a Martini Henry replica chambered in something like 30-30 or .308win.

There is a replica P08 Luger. I can't remember who makes them, but they should not be hard to find. I owned an original Erfurt Luger but also, for a regular shooter, I had a stainless steel replica in 9mm. I could swap parts between them and fire them with no problem. They were practically identical in every way. The replica was expensive as I remember, but cheaper than the real one and there was no reluctance to use it as often as I wanted to.

do you have shoulder with the luger, nice piece !

These are cool guns and really fun to shoot but our side definitely had the superior sidearm.

This would be a cool gun to have in a zombie apocalypse. Which was already done in Resident evil Code Veronica X.

they make you shoot off of a rest? that has got to be the worst firing range ever lol.

The Luger may not have been the best pistol of WWI and WWII; however, it's unique design and grip comfort are very nice.

@ED-od6hy

"Some parts are different" - Functionally speaking, no; it is not uncommon to find pistols with a mix of DWM, Mauser, Erfurt, Krieghoff, and Simson parts. So long as the pistol was designated as a "P.08", its functionally the same as other P.08s. If it was used by the police, then it may have had one or two additional safety devices installed, but the base pistol remains the same. "the Ammo are different as well" - All P.08 pistols are chambered for 9mm parabellum. Early military sales, such as those sold to Switzerland, and inter-war commercial models are chambered in 7.65mm parabellum.

Very nice good feling

These are some of the most fun pistols to shoot, and always get interesting looks from fellow range-goers - if you can manage to see the tiny sights, they're generally pretty accurate as well. The ones captured by the Finns have had improved sights installed, as well as Tikka barrels in many instances; these particular pistols are on par with just about any other single-stack 9mm I've come across!

Very cool.. i'd like buy one!!

If that fails, the L-shaped trigger bar (behind the side plate) might be hanging up when you release the trigger. The trigger bar might be bent, worn or the spring holding it in the side plate is not doing it's job. Don't give up. Fix it.

I have seen this gun in the game "Wolfenstein" :-)
