Introducing myself...

Welcome to the forum!

There's a lot of history in that iron...

When it comes to Lugers, go slow; get the reference material and study before you make any moves... You will get the education. Reading is less expensive than "Luger University" (the practical side of buying when you're not sure).

Silly question just because I am new...

Just got my first Luger p08 and was firing it today.
Is it normal for it to eject brass vertically into the air? brass flies about 12 feet straight up.

I did a search on these forums and found one other reference to this:

I hope this is not a symptom of ammo that is too "hot" for this gun.
I was at an outdoor (covered) range and the brass was hitting the roof!

I've been thinking of wearing a helmet...or at least a hat...I'm not sure if it's coming straight back or flipping up a bit & then back...

My Mauser C96 & M30 both eject back, too...
