Luger semi-auto BB gun

Yes it does differ from the earlier model in that this model is indeed blowback. I am not an expert on CO2 pistols but I have read that you put a drop of oil on the top of the CO2 cartridge before inserting it (the part that gets punctured) and that keeps the 0-ring lubed and prevents it from drying out. (The owner's manual shows a graphic of the place to apply the lube.) Most use a silicone lube because a gun that uses air and not CO2 forces the air through a small aperture and this heats up and could cause a petroleum based lube to ignite. It is NOT recommended that this pistol be disassembled. One can take the slide off, but don't go any further than that. I think you will have great fun with it.

Thanx for all of the information. I am not well versed on these CO2 pistols, but plan to do some reading. I am looking forward to it's arrival.

Cliff,

You were sure correct in recommending this Legends P08. I received mine and read the manual carefully. Then I field stripped it (just like a P08 in breakdown). I lubed it(very dry) in mostly the same places that I lube my P08s. Whoever engineered this pistol, well he did a wonderful job!! So many items are accurate to the real item.

What a hoot to shoot. I ran through 2 CO2 cylinders and really got the feel for this pistol. What a nice trigger pull....nicer than on my Lugers. I was shooting at 25-30 feet and getting approx. 3 1/2in. groups. Not bad for shooting round balls through a smooth bore.

So in summation, if one wants an inexpensive shooter "Luger" that feels and handles correctly, plus you can shoot cheaply and functions very reliably.....then this product is one you should look into.....just NOT if you want to shoot at 25 YARDS!!

I am more than pleased with this product.
