The Luger P08 pistol is one of the most iconic service pistols of all time, and served as the standard issue Germany Army sidearm for World War I. It held 8 rounds of 9mm ammunition, plus one more round in the chamber for 9 rounds overall.
The Luger is notable for its appearance as well as its design, utilizing a toggle locked recoil operated mechanism. Whereas the slide of most modern pistols travels rearward to eject a spent shell casing, the mechanism of the Luger will ‘toggle’ upwards.
