When I first say my dad's Ruger Mark II I thought it was a Luger, that's probably where my fascination comes from. The Mark II is such a comfortable and accurate gun, can't wait to get a Luger
@finalfantasyreal The grip angles and barrels definatley resemble each other. But the fact that the Luger was actually shootable makes it a lot better. The Nambu was also a simple blowback action while the luger had that nifty toggle lock
@Zeratul723 it weighs under 2 lbs. the muzzle is very light on lugers and the action moves upward...the recoil isn't particularly hard but the muzzle flip is pretty snappy.
@themarine1701 the springs weaken in them most lugers are old and the springs lose tention after so many years .replace them you can buy them new and that stop the jamming.
@majorporpoise The primary differences will be in the finish. WW2 era guns were hot dip blued while the earlier guns were rust blued. The other difference lies in the magazines. The early magazines were nickel plated and had wood bottoms while the later magazines were blued with aluminum or plastic bottoms. Of course the roll marks and proof stamps will differ. Aside from these points the pistols are identical.
@majorporpoise NO! the Nazi made Lugers were made by Mauser, which started making them in the 30's. DWM was the real maker of Lugers, quality is not that much of a difference, triggers small parts strawed on DWM's, Mauser's are all blued etc.
Wow the recoil looks so harsh when its slowed down, thanks for this video by the way, maybe your colt woodsman next? I bet it has an interesting look to it when fired.
I had a number of guns out to video today but I just wasn't thrilled with the clear sky - direct sunlight bleaches out a lot of details and throws the contrast off.
The ones I had lined up were: Steyr-Hahn, Walther P.38, Walther PP, Mauser HSc and Mauser C.96.
I had a Woodsman M/T video up ages ago from an indoor range, I wouldn't mind redoing that one.
@Yams313 Naw, that pistol shouldn't be in a museum. It should be in the possession of someone who'll shoot it, that's what it's for! Mighty fine piece in any case... (Sure would be nice if somebody would produce affordable NEW Lugers. With today's CNC technology, it shouldn't be too expensive to pull off.)
@bjggjb Mauser made a run of Lugers imported by Interarms in the 1970's. These were a mix of cast and forged parts to lower the production cost, but many reports say they are more picky about ammunition than the originals. The design of the 'Mauser Parabellum' is closer to the original 1900-1906 designs than that of the P.08.
They still aren't what I'd call 'affordable' - around $800-1300. About what you can get an original for.
@DrakeGmbH I have one as a matter of fact (Interarms Mauser 29/70 9mm, 6" barrel) which was my $850.00 gift to myself for quitting smoking a year ago.
It follows the 1929 Swiss Luger design.
It is the most accurate handgun I've ever fired (five-shot groups I can cover with a silver dollar @ 30 yards) and feeds 124-gr truncated cone hollowpoints with nary a hiccup. (Maybe I just got lucky?) In any case, you'll want to take up handloading if you're going to do serious Luger shooting, methinks...
@bjggjb I haven't had any experiences with the Interarms guns myself, the ammo issue has just been the rumor I've heard.
I believe many serious Luger shooters also prefer the .30 Parabellum models as well - somewhat flatter trajectory even further out. A friend of mine competes in Switzerland with an 06/24 Bern Luger and SIG P210 in .30 Luger.
@DrakeGmbH That bottlenecked .30 Luger round also feeds more reliably by its very nature. The Luger is an awesome handgun, but I've found that reliability (with my 9mm anyway) is a balancing act involving the right bullet, right powder load, and right cartridge overall length (plus good springs and last, but definitely not least , SCRUPULOUS cleaning.) And, I'd say a good reloading setup is a must for any Luger shooter (especially shooters of .30 Luger pistols, it's unaffordable otherwise.)
> Naw, that pistol shouldn't be in a museum. It should be in the possession of someone who'll shoot it, that's what it's for!
That's my thoughts exactly on old military guns. They were made to be shot and I feel like I do them a disservice if I don't. Naturally a few need some 'tuning up' beforehand. My first Luger needed some work with the trigger transfer bar and transfer bar pin to get it to reset the trigger properly. This one didn't need a bit of work.
The action is very smooth but I can't comment on the reliability. I've only fired a K31 a handful of times. If you operate the action with a bit of authority the brass tends to launch into low orbit.
Eventually, yes. I do not have a K31, however. Seems I missed the boat when they were selling for under $200. The last nice examples I saw locally with walnut stocks were fetching $450+.
It's about like any other auto, really. I was kneeling in the high-angle shots and resting my left elbow on my left knee so it was returning a bit above the point of aim. You certainly don't feel any force pushing the muzzle back down.
I still find the Luger08 better than the replacement of this gun the Walther P38!

They're both German, so I assume not.. But I plan on buying one when I get my pistol target permit & can't decide whether to buy a WW1 or WW2 Luger.
