All true, and yet....
I was at the range last week, shooting my Thor redone Erfurt artillery and my 41/42, as well as my Walther P-38 and PP, a Browning Hi-Power, 1911 and Colt single-action army Ned Buntline (really) long barrel.
From my perspective, nothing came close to the enjoyment of shooting the two P08s. They are different shooting experiences, both enjoyable, but different. I found myself starting and ending my range time with the Lugers. It happens every time.
What is interesting is that, invariably, when fellow shooters comment or ask to see any of the firearms, it is the Lugers they are most curious about, with occasional interest demonstrated in the Walther P38 and the Buntline (a really fun shoot, I must admit).
But who am I telling all of this to...none of us would be here if we didn't already know there was mystique to the P08 that defies adequate description.
