Luger bb gun

Mine's here! Need to grab some CO2 to try it out - but I'm flabberghasted at the level of detail put into this gun! Much of it you'd have to squint pretty hard to tell it from the real thing, although some of the micro-details are slightly different on the RH side of the pistol. The biggest difference is the seam running through the grip straps and trigger guard. The toggle looks like its ready to pull back, the takedown lever looks like its ready to be swung open, and the front sight looks like you could tap it out. It has a nice heft, lighter than the real thing as its made of alloy, but very solid and "real" feeling. My wife thought it was the real thing.

Trigger position within the guard is different too, but you don't really notice that at first. It looks like the "Black Widow" grips would interchange with the real thing with a minimum of effort.

I painted in the Gesishert to better match reality, as well as the markings on both the LH side and the toggle area. RH markings don't approximate reality, so were left in the black.

I recommend keeping the box - keep the pistol elsewhere, place all the included literature inside the box, toss in a fresh desiccant packet, and put the whole thing into a ziploc plastic bag. 20-30 years from now, it will increase the value by 50%...
