I ran 150 of my reloads and two magazines of WWB this past weekend. It ran flawless.
What a fun shooting gun!

Barrel number

P08Leder · 11-09-2015, 09:51 PM

Weird the top half is 5141 and the bottom is 5741

Edward Tinker · 11-09-2015, 09:53 PM

I have had two 'mismatched' lugers (top and bottom different) but not as close as yours - maybe from a long time ago, maybe from a collector with luck or bad eyesight!

P08Leder · 11-09-2015, 09:56 PM

"Almost" matching numbers!

P08Leder · 11-09-2015, 10:22 PM

Probably paid more than I should have, but they don't make them anymore

rhuff · 11-10-2015, 03:11 PM

You didn't pay too much, if it is what you wanted, shoots reliably, and makes you happy!! Life is too short. Enjoy.

P08Leder · 11-10-2015, 03:37 PM

Oh I am very happy.
They print new money every day, but they aren't making new P08s.
Very fun gun to shoot.
But now I have the bug and am lusting for am artillery

Your're right, seems a good shooter, just avoid heavy loads, shoot safe.
