DWM P.08 Luger

Had time to take some videos today but without a cloud in the sky the contrast is rather harsh. Really bleaches out a lot of details. I figured I may as well upload what I have.

Details:

Double-date 1917/1920 P.08 Luger. Once an LP.08 'Artillery' model evidenced by the milled notch just behind the barrel on the top of the receiver.

This pistol was made in 1917 and has Imperial German Army acceptance stamps and a unit stamp on the front grip strap. This gun was reworked in 1920 under the terms of the Versailles Treaty - the 8" artillery barrel was replaced with a 4" P.08 barrel. This unit stamp has been X'd out and restamped with a Weimar Republic police unit. This gun served into WWII until it was captured by Russian forces.

has it ever jam? Ohter sons of bitches that I know fire the fucking thing just got it jams like a bitch!

[DrakeGmbH]

@themarine1701 Mine have never jammed. I feed them 115gr FMJ ammunition - usually Winchester, MagTech or UMC.

How many weapons could you have in America?

[DrakeGmbH]

@Patryk737 How many do you want? For the most part you are limited only by how much you're willing to spend.

Is there any quality difference in WW1 & Nazi made Lugers?

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.

[DrakeGmbH]

@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.

Hey maybe you should realize the legal status on machine guns before making such an idiotic comment.

[Artjom1724]

I still find the Luger08 better than the replacement of this gun the Walther P38!

[CoreyIsTheName]

What a beautiful weapon. Lugers are by far my favorite hand gun. Comparing it to my Ruger P89 is like comparing a Rolls Royce and a Honda.

[a2redneck]

ah, the toggle action Luger, thats a nice piece.

[MP44StG44Page]

Nice !

[kregerfilms]

At least this video should shut up all the morons constantly commenting "all your guns sound the same, fake".

[tillaylomo]

the gun had killed many fucking jews

[hydra046]

@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

[finalfantasyreal]

@hydra046 They Nambu pistols look very similar to the Luger though, the three have a definite resemblance.

[hydra046]

@finalfantasyreal The Ruger pistols are actually more similar to the Nambu series of pistols, due to the design being heavily based on them

[hydra046]

The recoil looks a bit snappy

[finalfantasyreal]

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

[2damaxmr2]

So sexy...

[BootyFister]

I shot a lot of kikes with one of these during WWII.

[diazhungi]

this gun has the sexiest pistol mechanism

[Bouzoukiellas]

I noticed you dont have a video for the German K98k Mauser

[1974nra]

@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.

[87325]

@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.

[Andrew122122]

The history behind the gun is amazing O.O nice video too!

[DonTheCritic]

I envy you SO much! lol

[HaNsWiDjAjA]

Can you use hollow point or soft point reliably on the Luger? Have you ever tried?

[Zeratul723]

Is it a particularly light pistol? Because that appears to be a lot of recoil for a 9mm. Maybe it just looks that way...

[malevolenceXXXensues]

@DrakeGmbH ha ha and how proud we are

[IPAColosseum]

These are fantastic... no stupid BS, just video of the gun and of you shooting it.
