When you measure the length of the barrel on a 9 mm P-08, do you measure from the end of the breech block, or from the end of the extractor? I have three Lugers and they all measure 3 and 7/8 inches from the end of the breech block to the muzzle. Is this what everyone refers to as a 4 inch barrel just rounded off? I know the Germans didn't measure in inches, but centimeters and millimeters.
