RON IN PA Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 a friend (of course I never get anything like this) has a P08 9 m/m and he says it is a RARE one ,, because u can remove the side plate & fire by pressing the sear bar (same as Jap 94?

james m Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Tell you fried if it didn't work that way he'd just have a lump of metal that couldn't be fired at all. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 That's the way the P.08 is designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptCurl Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 The military Lugers will all fire the way described by the OP. On the other hand, Police Lugers had an additional safety that locked the sear upon removal of the sideplate. Those are the rare ones. Your friend has it reversed. Here is a close image of the left side of my Banner Mauser "Eagle L" police Luger. You can see the piece of spring steel riveted to the receiver frame and extending over the top of the sideplate. That's the extra sear safety. http://www.rbsiii.com/collection/pistols/Lugers/1941_Banner_Police/side_l_close.jpg If you want to see a photo array of this pistol, here's a link: http://www.rbsiii.co..._Banner_Police/ Curl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman13kup Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Nice looking gun there Curl. Matching numbers too. I have a parts box model myself, not quite as pretty as yours, but it still works. My C96 on the other hand does have matching numbers and is as pretty as yours, and will shoot better after I get some clips for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
