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.
Do you have any experience shooting the Luger, or are you just saying it as a generic advice? Because smacking mags is a part of the clearing drill "tap and rack", and is not seen as a bad thing on most firearms.
Thats the reason German troops grabbed the Tokarav or Makarov, All the German weapons were so tightly machined they jammed with the cold Russians weapons rattled like teeth in the cold, all the parts had wide tolerances.
@@raymondwilliamblack l am russian,and can tell you the real truth. In winter 1942 in leningrad,com.party boss ordered from kirov factory a new pistol 7,62*25 tok.with blowback system,because all the standard pist.tok.were frozen, and german pist.also. so,they made a pist Baltietz. It was a PP desighn,but 1,5 times biger,and blowback 7,62*25 tok. The germ.also made the same pist.blowback,but 9*19. It was Walther PP 1,5 times biger than standard model. You can see it in " forgotten weapons" weapon auction usa. Finally,after the ware was finished,our govern.decided- the new pist. will be only blowback,with big tolerances,1 stage mag,and the most powerfull ammo wich is possible for blowback system. That was the real our truth about pist in the ww-2 and after,in ussr.
These guns truly are amazing. I just got mine a few days ago. Its a 1915 DWM P08 and when I took it out to the range, it just annihilated the paper, seriously one of the best pistols I've ever had
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
It's been re blued recently for sure. Impossible to tell what the over all condition is but it's rare to find one this old with a good barrel. They used corrosive primers back then so most all of these have badly pitted barrels sadly.
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.
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.
+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).
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!
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!
"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.
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.
Oy vey, this brings me back. I remember when a mean Nazi named Ernst Göring hit me with his Luger. Right in the solar plexus I tell you! All I was doing was walking home with some matzos when it happened.

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.)
How did you acquire such a pristine Luger? My local gun shop has three of them that are in pretty rough shape going for $3500 each. I’d really like one but the price turns me off
You are correct, this P08 was made from at least five different P08 pistols, I suspect as a post-WWII rebuild. My best guess is that it was for West Germany, but that is just my guess.
Yeah the L-shaped bar that pivots does not engage with the trigger very well. It requires me to replace the side plate. I can't afford it now as a student, so I'm going to put up with it until I can get around to it at some point down the road.

'Yes', but these pistols do have a tendency to stove-pipe jam, not something either a military, police or self-defense shooter ever wants to have to happen. Still a beautifully made firearms, too fine of tolerances however.
The magazine holds 8, but you can load a round into the chamber, insert a fresh magazine with eight rounds and have 9 rounds ready. This is called 8+1. The WWI/WWII era 1911s are the same way, 7+1, you have have 8 rounds ready with a 7 round magazine.
I want videos of WWI and WWII rifles dude! Like Manlincher Carcano (Italian rifle, yeeeeh my country) or karabiner 98k or gewehr 43 :D if u have chance... And I'm subbed!
Ok, I've bought two Lugers and about to buy a 3rd. The things you need to look at is the serial number. Most of the time if you buy a World War I or II Luger, the date will be on the receiver so 1915, 1917, 1940, etc. If it's a commercial Luger, the date won't be on the receiver which is why it's important to ask questions and find out what the serial number is. Gunbroker is a fantastic place to look if you're wanting to buy one. They have lots of original Lugers there.
Funny, the more I really look at this gun I can see where glock got it's roots from. If you really look at it, and if you cut off the barrel on the front and the magazine loader on the top it looks like a glock.
Not really, Glock uses the Browning style slide and tilting block action, the Luger pistol uses a toggle lock mechanism derived from the Maxim machine gun. The only real commonalities between the Glock and the Luger is that they are striker fired (although the Luger is much more complicated in this matter, hence my trigger reset issues) and the ergonomic angle. The magazine loader is required for the Luger because the steep angle of the loading means that you cannot simply mash your rounds in one by one like on a 1911. Oh and the Glock has infinitely better sights :)
the only danger i can think of is tarnishing of the brass casings, there will be some green where they had contact settling in the said bag, from moisture/humidity being kept in. it could cause the casing to become lodged in the chamber other than that, nothing really. could occur with in week to 2 years all depends how dry your storage is. i suppose you could use cosmoline on your casings but no point.
I kept the ammo in a plastic bag, because the box I bought came apart because of a previous video where we were shooting in the rain and snow. The next time I went shooting ~1 week later, I shot this video and used up the rest of the ammo.
I'm going to keep being bias; but I can't make promises. Strait: Your grandfather is crap, and should be thrown to Russians. Softer: Your gramps probably wasn't familiar with the complexity of the p-08, it is common, and is typically discouraged by most people by; Looks And how sophisticated it may be. But when you get used to it, man it is the best imo.
Mr. Gible What would be the weapon of your choice in battle? A P08 or a MP44. The P08 was inaccurate and it`s leathal range was to short for a battle in the field. So in most scenarios in ww2 it was useless for the soldiers.

1. Weak trigger return spring - easy fix - get a replacement from Wolff gunsprings and install it in about 1 minute.

Finally someone had the brains to use the Luger magazine loading tool the way it was so intended to be for loading the difficult magazines.

Ist der Besoffen???
Very nice good feling
Eine der besten Kurzwaffen. Will mir auch eine ersteigern.
Only 8 rounds?? I thought 9 rounds were charged inside this pistol, but I'm not sure.
The magazine holds 8, but you can load a round into the chamber, insert a fresh magazine with eight rounds and have 9 rounds ready. This is called 8+1. The WWI/WWII era 1911s are the same way, 7+1, you have have 8 rounds ready with a 7 round magazine.
Cool! Thank you
I want videos of WWI and WWII rifles dude! Like Manlincher Carcano (Italian rifle, yeeeeh my country) or karabiner 98k or gewehr 43 :D if u have chance... And I'm subbed!

Hello from the USA!
Charles what caliber does that Luger fire because it doesn't look like 9mm
I assure you it is most certainly chambered for 9mm.
Charles' Milsurp Firearms Thank you for clearing that up
cool gun..looks like a very complicated build...none the less...a very nice gun.
Where did you get that set I'm intrigued
Winter_ Records Online forums for the P08, IMA USA for the holster rig.
Где може да се набави,која је цена исто и за муницију.
Tenho uma igual a essa, mas infelizmente perdi o magazine. Aqui no Brasil não achamos peças de reposição
Do you know when they start using the p38
The first ones I know of were manufactured in 1940.
How do you buy one of these
You have the entire internet at your disposal, is it really that difficult to google "Luger for sale"?
Available in Pakistan or not, price in Pakistan please reply.
How can I tell if the P08 Luger is original?
Ok, I've bought two Lugers and about to buy a 3rd. The things you need to look at is the serial number. Most of the time if you buy a World War I or II Luger, the date will be on the receiver so 1915, 1917, 1940, etc. If it's a commercial Luger, the date won't be on the receiver which is why it's important to ask questions and find out what the serial number is. Gunbroker is a fantastic place to look if you're wanting to buy one. They have lots of original Lugers there.
Funny, the more I really look at this gun I can see where glock got it's roots from. If you really look at it, and if you cut off the barrel on the front and the magazine loader on the top it looks like a glock.
Not really, Glock uses the Browning style slide and tilting block action, the Luger pistol uses a toggle lock mechanism derived from the Maxim machine gun. The only real commonalities between the Glock and the Luger is that they are striker fired (although the Luger is much more complicated in this matter, hence my trigger reset issues) and the ergonomic angle. The magazine loader is required for the Luger because the steep angle of the loading means that you cannot simply mash your rounds in one by one like on a 1911. Oh and the Glock has infinitely better sights :)
i am not an gun expert,but is it right to store ammo in a bag?
It's not right or wrong, just convenient at the time.
the only danger i can think of is tarnishing of the brass casings, there will be some green where they had contact settling in the said bag, from moisture/humidity being kept in. it could cause the casing to become lodged in the chamber other than that, nothing really. could occur with in week to 2 years all depends how dry your storage is.
i suppose you could use cosmoline on your casings but no point.
I kept the ammo in a plastic bag, because the box I bought came apart because of a previous video where we were shooting in the rain and snow. The next time I went shooting ~1 week later, I shot this video and used up the rest of the ammo.
Charles' Milsurp Firearms how did the brass look, good sir? any tarnishing?
Eu já tive uma dessa elas são muito boas impressionante
I have seen this gun in the game "Wolfenstein" :-)

Sar kya main aapse baat kar sakta Hoon gun ke bare mein
My Grandpa said the Luger was crap and it was more useful to throw the gun at the russians than to shoot with it...
I'm going to keep being bias; but I can't make promises.
Strait:
Your grandfather is crap, and should be thrown to Russians.
Softer:
Your gramps probably wasn't familiar with the complexity of the p-08, it is common, and is typically discouraged by most people by;
Looks
And how sophisticated it may be.
But when you get used to it, man it is the best imo.
AnAtheist stand in front of it and c how crap it is
Mr. Gible
What would be the weapon of your choice in battle? A P08 or a MP44. The P08 was inaccurate and it`s leathal range was to short for a battle in the field. So in most scenarios in ww2 it was useless for the soldiers.
Was gramps peeling potatoes stateside?
AnAtheist po8, because of how I play war.
Como se chama Luger
