Question about 1911 Luger

DonVoigt · 07-15-2015, 11:31 AM

Could be a problem, maybe not.

Up till during 1913 military Lugers were made without the hold open.

They were added to most earlier pistols, and from mid 1913 or so installed in all.

If yours doesn't hold open, it maybe does not have one, or if cut for the hold open- it is missing or broken.

hope this helps.

If you don't like it, pass it along to me, I've been looking for one without the feature as an example!
