I think its pretty cool, although I don't remember hearing of this cartridge. What I wonder is the rear diameter of the cartridge? Because if bigger than 9mm, then the toggle / breachblock would have to have been adapted?

I would think that a design like the P08, that is already straining at its design limit with the 9mm Parabellum cartridge, would be right on the edge of catastrophic failure with anything more powerful... ![]()

Everything is subject to breakage under use. The only problem with that is that the broken parts will be numbered in what is now a rather collectible firearm. Aside that I also don't think that a P08 chambered for .41 AE is such a great idea. |

It is definitely an interesting concept. As to how, and how long it will function, one can not say at this point. If it had been produced/developed on one of the modern steel Luger reproductions, then perhaps it would be a real shooter. I, like the OP, would like to give it a try, just for S&Gs. One could really develop some velocity from that bbl. length.
