Well done sir for a very clear and sensible review of this gun. It makes such a change from many of the gun reviews on KZfaq.

Disclaimer: Read to the end for the real problems. My names Bryan, me and my friend Tyler got these as a gift to ourselves and tried them out. Brand new they were spectacular, I loved how it felt in my hand, Tyler hated it. From our experience the trigger pull was super light, barely had to apply much pressure and it would run. His immediately showed problems with expelling Co2, it was our first gas blowback guns and I loved mine so much I wanted to use it competitively, and I did very very well with it. After a few months, mine degenerated like his did, the trigger would sometimes entirely fail and wouldn't work for minutes, sometimes having to break the gun down and put it back together with seemingly no answer as to why it didn't work. Both of ours started having issues with expelling the Co2 and sometimes it wouldn't expell enough. From my experience, you cannot oil these guns, get them wet, dirty, nothing. If yours starts having problems, I've found that getting them very dry and warm alleviates most of the issues for a short period of time. I do recommend this gun if you like to collect.

How did you field strip it without damaging the screws and threads? And did you kit wooden grips on it?

Good video. The hop up system description (no.5) in German says: "the hop-up system can be set on the underside of the barrel by using the 6-sided Allen key. Turn the rear screw in the CLOCKWISE direction ("Uhrzeigersinn = clockwise) to increase the hop-up effect" i.e. turning it anti-clockwise will probably decrease the hop-up effect. The wear and tear is doubtlessly linked to the zinc alloy ("Zamak 4") metal used to make most metal airgun replicas: those moving parts should have been made of steel.

i know your post is 4 months old but mine broke today and i wanna tell my story. i fired about 2 cartridges through it which is about 6 mags. and of course dry fired it sometimes. i had it for 6 days and that little "hitting board" that is preventing the striker to fall out broke. i dont understand why they are making that main parts which have to withstand quite a lot of force out of that cheap and britle zinc alloy.

when I first got this I was undecided whether to get the bb 177 cal ..4.5mm version or the 6mm airsoft version because I collect both..so I came up with a idea I bought the 6mm airsoft one and ordered a 4.5mm spare magazine and I took the barrels out of old broken gun and made it interchangeable all I do is switch out the barrel by taking off the slide and whallaahh!! baddaping buddah poom! you in your out lol I love modding its my favorite part of this wonderful money eating addiction hobby

Please excuse me but I think the correct phrase is: Badabing! Badaboom!. One of my former adjuncts, a lieutenant whose name was Merritt use to say that all the time. Now every time I hear that phrase said I try to remember where he told me it came from. If you or a reader should know it's origin would you please inform me. I want to but can't remember exactly what that lieutenant told me and would love the chance to ask him but unfortunately he is dead.

I bought one of these for £80 in UK...I weighed it and was slightly lighter than the original so I glued a couple of lead strips in the handle as there is a bit of room in each side...The after market wooden grips you can get for the luger are not a good fit and you need to do some skilled surgery to get them even close to fitting...although the wooden grips for the KWC M1911WW2 replica fit with little work and are a great authentic addition...The leather holsters for the luger and M1911 made in India are exceptional high quality and come with authentic stamps...So I'd recommend the leather holsters for the P08 and the KWC WW2 M1911...but not the wooden luger grips

I pretty much agree with most of what he says. The one thing I would mention is that you should NOT waste your time and money buying any of the sholder stocks available for the real steel P-08. The ones for the real steel will not fit the clones whether KWC, WE or Umarex. I haven't found after a lot searching any that have been made to directly fit the clones. Not like the wood stocks on the market for the C96/M712 which can be made to fit the clones and work quite well. It can be done for the Luger but requires careful machining to widen the guide slot on the pistol itself. And that my friends was major pain in my... buttock. (I bet you thought I was going to say "my ass". 😇)

Hey! I'm considering buying this replica. Anyone who has owned one for a while. Did it fall apart by itself in the short term, or did it end up being fairly durable in the long term? I don't want to waste my money on a gun if it's gonna dismantle itself after only a few months...

The real version of this pistol would have been called the Black Widow. The German Luger was not made for target shooting but for self defense which is why the sights are so crude.

Hey Steve buddy good work on the videos and updates... I was wondering if you write me back on a question or two... I picked up a P08 maybe a week ago... fired off about 200 rounds so far... question that brass screw that has a little rubber gasket on it that screws into the back of the lock back mechanism... has that unscrewed for you ? So far I tightened it but twice so far... wondering if you had this issue ? Question will we get another update on the over time and what it looks like now ?

The wear and tear is completely normal - after all, it is made from cheap zinc injection molding and not steel or aluminum. Zinc injection molding is a shit material and it is also so soft that such wear and tear can be seen very quickly. These lead relatively quickly to malfunctions of the gun. Zinc injection molding is just cheap crap and it's a shame that almost all air pistols or BB and also gas pistols are made with this crap. They used to be made of steel in the 1970s and 80s, after that they were just zinc injection molded shit.

@@kylethedalek Yes and no...The wooden grips are a really bad fit on the luger...You have to grind out the CO2 cylinder profile but that's the easy bit on wooden grips for BB gun grips....The problem is the fit externally...The screw holes do not align at the bottom and the thin part of the grip that inserts into the body at the top has to be so thin it will break easily....I don't recommend the luger grips unless the luger is going to be a show/static or you have qualifications in engineering.........The wooden grips for the KWC M1911 are a great fit only needing the CO2 profiling on the inside
