A Little History:

This pistol has some serious history. The real-deal Luger P08 was the official German army sidearm all the way back to 1908 and stuck around until the end of World War II. Even though they started making its successor, the P38, in late 1942, the Luger was still around. It was a bit pricey back in the day (around 32 RM) and a bit complex to make, and honestly, it wasn't as reliable as people thought. Georg Luger designed it based on Hugo Borchardt's original knee-joint breech idea. The real pistol was usually about 22cm long, weighed around 870g empty, and fired that 9mm Parabellum round at about 340m/s. They made over 412,000 of them during the war. Soldiers often carried a spare loaded magazine with them, usually tucked into a pouch on their holster, so they could reload faster when things got hairy.
