Hi to all! The thread below about a perceived trigger problem reminded me of a luger quirk that has bothered me for years,....and that is the small trigger guard! I have good sized hands, and it is always a bit of a problem to get my finger naturally on to the trigger.....with cold weather gloves, it is almost impossible! The .45 luger (Ron Wood's) that I viewed during the forum gathering spoiled me for sure! The trigger had a great feel, and the trigger guard's angular shape seemed more spacious, and forgiving...I wonder why this improvement was never added to the standard P.08? The P.08 must have been almost useless on the Russian front in the winters of 41, 42, 43, and 44....There's still room for improvement in the old P.08! till.....later.....G.T.
