Attention Luger P08 fans!

The WE Luger P08 Short Barrel Version Gas Airsoft replica pistol is considered by many as the supreme rendition of the classic 'P08'.  The original real Luger P08 was peculiar in many ways.  Unlike the American Colt .45 "down in the mud trench gun", the Luger P08 required exacting machining and fitting operations necessary to hold  close tolerances demanded by the design.  It featured a break open knuckle/toggle bolt which was odd from an engineering standpoint (not to mention the weird inertial dynamics), was muzzle light, had a notoriously spongy-creepy trigger pull, and could be fired (one round) with the barrel /bolt assembly disconnected from the frame.  Many had their take down lever buttons sheared off by owners who were unaware of the correct take down procedure.  It was a pistol  well suited as an officer's sidearm (much like the Japanese Nambu), and was widely issued in just that role.  The more practical Walther P-38 was also issued, but never generated  the mystique of the Luger.  To this day, the legendary Luger P08 endures as one of the most recognizable and classic pistol designs of all time.  Originals in fine condition with matching serial numbers continue to command ever higher prices, especially ones connected with an interesting 'history'.

The WE Gas Airsoft P08 replica features full metal construction with full articulating knuckle/toggle slide, semi-auto single action, last round bolt hold open - just like the original, and a fifteen round 'mag'.  The fixed rear sight notch is incorporated into the toggle bolt on this short barrel version (duplicating the original).  Delivers 310+fps muzzle velocity. Owners are raving about the We P08. It is so realistic that in certain respects it's difficult to distinguish between the replica and the original.  Needless to say, the red orange muzzle tip must NEVER be tampered with or removed.
