My "new" Luger 08 from 1940

Hi Martin, and welcome to the forum.

You'll probably enjoy a copy of the free Luger FAQ document you can download from this site. Just follow the FAQ link at the top of pages...

I agree that these refinished Mauser made Lugers make great shooters. Stick with 115gn standard velocity (not NATO power) ammo.

It's interesting that it has one VoPo grip and the other appears to be original wartime bakelite (or could be an aftermarket replacement). Keep your eye out for a matching VoPo grip.

Provide a firm grip and good support when you shoot it and it will probably cycle without problem.
