Hmmmm...Some quite interesting comments/threads there & here...

I was more interested in the actual physical makeup of the tangent sight itself...is the axle hole drilled at a 7Ã?Âº angle to the barrel??? Or is the axle itself machined off center, to impart a cant while raising??? I can't tell just from looking at those pics...

I couldn't see any real anomaly in the sight while inspecting an LP-08 last week...but I wasn't looking for one either...

The Earth's rotation in relation to firing a Luger...Yes, I can understand how scientists in Germany might make a definitive study of this...
