The P08, when introduced, was sighted in at 100 meters. This was found to be impractical and was shortened to 50 meters in 1913. Most of the earlier guns were recalled to the Erfurt Armory and their front sight blades were changed for ones that were 0.5mm taller (this was done at the same time as they were retro fitted with a hold-open). Guns that were so altered were stamped with a small Erfurt inspection mark on the front sight base.
