What you call an "indicator hole" is actually the loading hole through which you load the BBs into the magazine. Take a BIC ball point pen, remove the ink tube, fill it with BBs and press it against the loading hole with the slider pulled all the way down. A fully loaded magazine in less than 5 seconds! ;)
Yes it is easier to load the BBs through the hole in the bottom of the magazine. However according to the Umarex Manual which comes with the pistol the BBs should be loaded from the top. Thanks for the tip about a BIC pen, I will try that.
Beautifully made pistol Alan. I didn't know any operational info on the Luger action and your explanation was very good. I fired a Browning in 9 mm at the range once. These replicas must cause the Police some concern given their appearance. We can't easily have them ib Oz like the UK, because of that aspect, yet the UK which is supposedly more strict in other areas of gun ownership can. Strange business. Enjoy. Cheers Rob
Hi Rob. I have several air guns made by Umarex and the quality is very good. Yes, the UK laws are very severe when it comes to firearms not so much with air guns. Cheers, Alan.
It's strange, when you see the lugers in the war movies, they always look much bigger than the replica bb pistols. I used to have one of these, and it felt tiny.
I watched this them showed my Mrs the video I then took out my umarex 1 took out the mag and asked her how you load it bare in mind she has no clue and hates me collecting air guns boom 2 mins she she got it right

That's what I do the clear 1s are best bics get 5 or 6 full em up with bb's new co2 bulb and let the fun begin 😉 🍻🏴💪
Good idea!! I did never thought about that!!!
Anyone who has had a real luger knows these parts are spot on and almost exactly the same take down process as the real thing
Load the BBs through the hole near the bottom of mag and you'll find it's MUCH easier than what you're doing.
I did a follow up video covering the loading of the magazine ua-cam.com/video/t23o2yYMhaM/v-deo.html

What a lovely pistol, I want one!🙂
All the best,

Hello Cliff. They are very nice, extremely well made about the only negative is the fiddly loading of the magazine. Cheers, Alan.
Nice video Alan! Very informative.
Thanks Charlie. I find the Luger a very interesting pistol. Cheers. Alan.

I never actually thought about that but you are right, the movie lugers do look bigger.
The guns look big because the actors are tiny :)
Or they're Artillery Lugers, which have a longer barrel. Basically the WWI model.
Very informative. Thank you very much.
If you didn't have to press them in, the minute you released the spring, they'd come flying out lol
Good point 🙂 I did do a follow up video as there were so many comments about the loading. ua-cam.com/video/t23o2yYMhaM/v-deo.htmlsi=W5L_E7xwSBG4Fjqc
What I want to know is- does the toggle work automatically after the first cocking? Or, do you have to manually operate the toggle for every shot
The toggle works automatically. You can see this in my next video on the Luger here ua-cam.com/video/KdEgyAK6fUU/v-deo.htmlsi=H6qzgBUKJAdVubsY
the 1911 isn't a blow back operated pistol it uses the barrel for lock up
Thanks for the correction. Technically the 1911 is a recoil operated pistol Although the slide is moved back by the expanding gases in the barrel.
That’s the hole you load the bbs 😂😂

I have had the occasional leak from the valve. It doesn't do it all the time though.
