Luger factory accuracy

Norme · 02-16-2022, 02:19 PM

The earliest P08's (1909-1913) were sighted in at 100 meters, a little over 300'. This was found to be unrealistic, and when these guns were recalled to be retrofitted with a hold-open the front sight blade was switched to one about 0.5mm taller. This resulted in a sight-in distance of 50 meters and there it remained until the end of military production.
The Lugers that were issued to Bavarian units missed out on the recall and most them still have the 100 meter front sight blade.
