Not bad. They may also think that the P38 is a copy of the Beretta 92

I don't think it's that bad. In Germany, as well as the rest of Europe the Parabellum is alive and kicking, although it has passed from 'shooter gun' to 'collector gun'. There are a couple of die hard P08 shooters around over here, including former Mauser Jagdwaffen manager Prof. Dr. Gminder and yours truly.

I'm still explaining to people that the strength of the toggle is quite ok, that reduced loads are not necessary and that most problems are caused by worn out magazines instead. The only gun that comes close to reliability of my shooter P08 is the club's Glock 17. The P08 is way more accurate, though.
