Hi all!!
After 2 years of vascillating about whether I should shoot my collector P08 (a 1917 DWM) I finally decided to give it a go.

I did NOT use the original matching mag, but rather the Swiss spare; I put 4 rounds of Winchester White Box 115 gr through it with no problems. (1 missed-eject, but that's all)

Was a very special experience

Especially on this special day of the end of WW1 (that was not planned)

But now she goes back in the safe after a thorough clean- I'll shoot it at most once a year... maybe.
