"New" Luger P08 from LKCI - Page 2

Freischütz · 10-17-2022, 07:38 PM

If they are good quality I’ll buy one.

The website (https://lkcillc.com/) has lots of interesting guns. The “revolver shotguns” caught my eye. Mechanism like a double action revolver.

Good-Day · 12-10-2022, 11:02 AM

Any new info on these?

mrerick · 12-11-2022, 11:31 AM

If the company produces an exact reproduction of the P08 and LP08 Luger, why would they not be available as Curio and Relic firearms?

They should qualify.

Can anyone actually confirm that this is the Turkish company "Tisas" or is it possibly some other company?

Any new made firearm, other than muzzle loaders are not eligible for C and R status until they are at least 50 years old. It's just the way it is.

The LKCI website still only offers shotguns as being available
So no progress on the Luger f/s

Good-Day · 02-28-2023, 08:58 PM

I just have to keep this alive

Anyone hear anything new?

I sent an email to Classic Arms and they had not heard about it

unspellable · 03-05-2023, 09:08 PM

I like the 5 inch barrel idea. I have a Mauser re-intro with a 5 inch barrel and I think it looks better than a 4 inch.
I have a Tisas "army" 1911, no complaints. It has a better trigger than my fancy Colt "competition" 1911 that is a candidate for a trigger job.

Good Day All,

I messaged LKCI on this
The response I recieved was that they are planning on 2nd Quarter of 2024 for a Release

I best make certain that I dont empty the piggybank

Sieger · 06-02-2025, 04:04 PM

Hi!

Are there any updates on availability yet guys?

Good-Day · 06-18-2025, 09:00 PM

I've sent a couple messages to LKCI and have gotten no response

Sad

I wanted this!!!

Freischütz · 12-21-2025, 09:10 PM

I see P.08s have returned to the LKCI website.

Put a link in here to view as all I am seeing is their 2021-22 catalog for the Luger and nothing new production

Vaporware, boys, pure and simple. The images on their web site look more like CGI/3D renderings than real guns. Moreover, none of their distributors show these Lugers having ever been stocked. Moreover, if these ever came to market, every gun forum, gun blog, and glossy fish wrapper would be reviewing them. Crickets.

I’m with Doubs too. The cost to produce a Luger today, even in some Third World country would be virtually cost prohibitive; certainly nowhere near their claimed MSRP of $800. (IIRC, but just the frame alone has over 150 separate milling operations.)

Good-Day · 01-07-2026, 08:41 PM

I sent another message to LKCI and have still not heard back

I REALLY want one of each

Why not buy a real one? By “real”, I not only mean a pre-1945 Luger, but I also mean one that is tangible and actually exists?

Kiwi · 01-08-2026, 09:41 AM

Put this in the - I'll believe it when I see it. column

The gun I mean, not the ad.

PolishX · 01-10-2026, 09:32 PM

well since they were never made or at least imported to the US its a moot point

Patrick Sweeney · 01-13-2026, 11:19 AM

If they are at the SHOT show, then it might be possible to get more info. We'll see.

PolishX · 01-19-2026, 04:05 PM

Having been to shot show many times just because a product is there does not mean it will hit the market. I can't tell you the number of times I tried to get T&E gear or info from manufacturers on "new" or released items only to get ghosted and never have them come to market. PSA, Arsenal (Stryk/Archon), Daewoo all have done this to me and many other writers in the industry.

SHOT Show at times is a tax write off and a place for industry people to steal talent from others, and release some rehashed guns in new colors mostly
