The price was 109.47 from Amazon. When you are over $35.00 the shipping is free thus it beat Midway's price. I have had a CO2 cartridge in it since March 27 and it is still working at full power just fine. It is in the Legends series from Umarex. The C02 cartridge fits in the removable magazine and so do 21 BB's. The mag is drop free and they give you a large allen wrench to tighten the well hidden screw in the bottom of the mag. to puncture the CO2 cartridge. I bought some paint ball gun lube to use on the 0-rings. I assume this is ok on CO2 guns too as paintball uses CO2 also. (By the way the mag is released by the mag button just like on the "real" luger.) and the CO2 also activates the working toggle. It just couldn't get any closer to a "real" luger and still be a BB gun. (If you get an extra mag. then you can have a new CO2 cartridge and a new supply of BB's) Maybe it is a "real" luger???

Thanks for the info. I believe that I can see one of these in my very near future. I own a replica S&W Mod 59 that uses CO2 and BBs, and it won't hold CO2 pressure for more than a day. That just won't work out for what I need. If this "Luger" will hold the gas pressure for a number of days and continue to function.....well, I just might have to take a trip over to Amazon and see about an "Easter present" for me!!

I am sooo weak!! I just caved in and purchased one from Amazon and got free shipping. They only had 8 left when I ordered mine. I think this will be a fun thing to have, and it will serve my purpose just fine. Thanks for the info....it was just the "nudge" that I needed.

Congratulations. I think you will enjoy it. (FUN) Umarex makes good stuff. (Nope, I don't work for them, but maybe I should.)

Mine holds pressure for weeks on end - however, Umarex states in the manual for my gun NOT to leave it pressurized for long periods as something bad happens to the seals eventually...

[QUOTE=cliffdropover1;269739. I bought some paint ball gun lube to use on the 0-rings. I assume this is ok on CO2 guns too as paintball uses CO2 [/QUOTE]


If you don't mind me asking, where are the "O" rings on this pistol? Do I have to disassemble it to lube them? Are there other lubes that will work, as I own many types of lubes. I have a "spring" pellet rifle(Beeman), but it doesn't require much maintenance, and shoots really hard.


From the videos that I watched, this blowback model has an authentic type trigger with approx. 3 1/2 lb. trigger pull.....single action. I believe that this differs from the other model, but I don't know that for sure. I am looking forward to receiving it......any new gun is a "good" gun.
