[Thor]

Dont know if this is factual or not, but I can tell you I got an email from a person that saw my name (from way on back) on the shooters.com /German forum. Here is the story entirely FWIW. ~ Thor~ A LADY WRITES TO ME TONIGHT AND SAYS:


[Dear Lugerman:

I have just looked through all 624 postings at Shooters.com and have come to realize that you are the Luger expert I need to talk to!


Do you know of any misfire problems with the P08 Luger? My husband was accidentally shot in the hand with one 2 years ago. It was at a pawn shop and the gun was handed to him by the owener for him to look at. My husband was looking for the safety and mashed down on the side plates, unbenownst to him there was a shell in the chamber and BOOM! I know there is a video out Tales of the Gun The Luger but I have not been able to get it yet to see if it has any information regarding this issue. I have read many articles and scanned through several books on Lugers too and have not been able to find anything out either.


Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.


There seems to be a great bunch of guys at the German Military board! ]


End of TALE......whew......know we know why the Police added the sear safety. I assume he was field stripping the gun. Thor
