They say that imitation is the best form of flattery or something like and it is obvious the Finnish LAHTI was designed with out beloved P.08 Parabellum in mind. From the similar barrels, angle of the grip and other features they are similar, but the LAHTI is much heavier and had an accelorator spring to open the action with authority even in cold climes. These were winter pistols par excellance from what I have read! Trigger guard is much bigger too. They use a locking block to lock the action similar to a Broomhandle or P.38 An interesting gun but a little tanklike when compared to our elegant Luger. They are also chambered in 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger. ~Thor~
