Luger BB

Mike B · 10-31-2014, 10:50 PM

Greetings,
This may be stale news but it is new to me. While surfing the net I came across a Co2 powered Luger BB pistol. The price was $65.00 (I think) or such. I order it and it arrived today. I was totally surprised at the weight, handling and appearance. To the untrained eye, it looks exactly like a byf 41/42 Luger. It weighs 2 pounds and is made of metal. Only plastic are the grips and part of the magazine. It fires a normal BB at 410 ft. per second and is fairly accurate. The trigger has a mile long pull so it takes so getting used to. Check it out at www.UmarexUSA.com.

Mike,

IIRC, Zormpas purchased one of these and was similarly impressed, there's a thread about these.

Umarex makes two versions; one is a blowback action in which the toggle moves, and the other does not. The blowback model runs around a hundred bucks, so I think yours may be the latter. For a jumping toggle joint, one pays the price of fewer shots per CO2 charge.
