Default My "new" 08

Yes, although it is a byf (1942) my new Luger is finally at home.
After a long burocratic legalization process ( yes, this side of the sea things take always a long time) the gun is finally with me.

First thing
shooting range for testing the gun: everything OK ( cicled perfectly with both magazines, no jams, good shotting with different ammo). Ammo tested: PRVI Partizan 124 grs FMJ, Winchester white box 115 grs FMJ; TopShot 124 grs FMJ;and a personal reload VECTAN BA9 4,8 grs powder with Fiochi 125 grs round nose FMJ.

First impression was perfect about the gun itself: good handling, perfect flawless shooting. Impressionant for such an "old " gun.

As time is always short for things that we like to do, I cannīt wait for next shooting session.

I must say that the experts of this forum were perfectly right about the relationship between WWB ammo and the P08. Five shots at 25 meters produced a 50 points group with a spread of litle more than one inch. See the target foto.
