ERMA designed the .22 calaiber conversion kits for the P08, used for practice in the Wehrmacht and later sold commercally.

Modrn ERMA-based pistols, found in .22 and .32 caliber with several different manufacturer/importer names, do not operate in the same way as a Luger pistol. They are a straight blowback design with fairly simple, conventional triggering and functioning. The only similarities to the locked-breech Luger are the toggle-connected breechblock and the overall physical shape.
