Borchardt-Luger Controversy

unspellable · 08-11-2002, 04:29 PM

One small point. When the toggles are slowly lowered to the in battery position and released a bit before arriving in battery, the action may or may not finish closing depending upon the particular pistol and recoil spring at hand. I have more than one of either example in my collection. The general trend in new model Lugers (with exceptions)is for the 9 mm to close and the 7.65 mm to remain open due to differences in the recoil spring.
