Luger and General German Handgun question

Vlim · 07-31-2014, 01:28 PM

Recently, I found a testimonial written during WW1 by a German petty officer who was wounded during a Trench raid. He defended himself succesfully with a Mauser Model 1910 .25 ACP pistol and earned himself an Iron Cross 2nd class. He wounded 2 Russian soldiers with it.

It wouldn't be my first choice, but I was surprised to see that these little pistols were not only carried, but were actually used in combat as well.
