Well, in some ways DWM was right about the P08 being a "100 year gun" in the sense that it is 100 years later and we are still shooting them. I can not think of any other 100 year old semiautomatic pistol that is still so widely recognized, still so widely distributed, and still being used at gun ranges. In a few more years we will have to add the 1911 to this select group; however, right now this is the only pistol that would be in such a class. And I think it is currently all by itself isn't it? Would there be any other 100 year old semiautomatic pistol that enjoys the reputation of the Luger?
