Howdy folks. I don't post as much as I should on here. I added another P08 to the herd and have encountered a new issue. All the other Lugers in my collection have very pleasant triggers. This new (to me) 1912 has an overly heavy trigger (think Nagant DA revolver pull heavy.) I have not tried to fire it yet, although I shoot most of my other ones. I say "most" because one of them has every part matching, has never been refinished and is a glorious bringback from WW1.
So what's going on with this 1912. It looks as if it might have been refinished and the mag is non matching, but overall it's a nice pistol with a phenomenal original barrel. I have cycled it with some snap caps and it cycles well. I am eager to shoot it but would like to get the trigger pull sorted first. Apologies if this is a stupid query, but I searched and didn't find anything on this problemo.
Thanks in advance,
Dom
