Things I liked:

I have always loved the Luger, and finally someone has a CO2 .177 cal version. When I saw this for sale, I ordered it within minutes. In comparing this to my real Luger, it is within small fractions of an inch of being identical in size and shape. The weight is just about right as well. Feels good in the hand. The mag release and safety function the same as the real ones, although the toggle doesn't operate and it doesn't disassemble. Magazine holds 21 rounds of standard steel .177 BBs, and it uses standard CO2 cartridges. In my test shooting last night it was consistently putting shots withing a 2 inch group at 10 yards, at the point of aim, which is actually about as good as I can shoot a pistol offhand anyway, so it probably can shoot better than I can. The long trigger pull could affect accuracy until you get used to it. The exterior is all metal except for the plastic grips. The casting detail is very good. I have an airsoft 6mm version of the Luger that uses green gas, and while that one does have blowback, this CO2 BB version is both a lot more reliable and a lot more accurate. This is a LOT of fun to shoot, and you don't have to go to the range to do it!

Things I would have changed:

It is double action, so the trigger pull is a bit long (ok, actually really long compared to the real thing), and a bit hard. That is my only real complaint. Aesthetically, I prefer wood grips, so I would have liked it to have at least brown plastic rather than black, but I did a brown wood-grain pattern on the black plastic grips, it looks really nice.

What others should know:

Some may complain that it doesn't have blowback, and that in order to fit around the CO2 cartridge the magazine is not full size inside the grip, but its a BB gun for under $100 that is full metal (except for plastic grips) and very accurate and reliable, so to me those are non-issues. If you really must have a full size mag and toggle action, you can always spend $1000+ for a real Luger. For under $100, this is a Really Great copy of a Luger than you can shoot in the back yard.

Things I liked:

The look, weigh, and balance are very accurate.

Things I would have changed:

Make sights adjustable. Blowback might waste some gas, but would be a great feature

What others should know:

THis was new in December 2013. I put about 6 shots thru it, and then set it aside for "better" weather. Today, March 27, 2014, I picked it up and again fired off about 6 rounds, and then.... it sounded like it was out of CO2, with a small pfft. Next pull of the trigger, it dumped then entire volume of gas. As nice as it looks and feels, it is usless if it fails after less then a full magazine of BBs is fired!

    Things I liked:

    This is a remarkable copy of the gun powder pistol. I own both. It's functions are the same except no blowback. I could not see the extra expense. Pyramid is my favorite store.

    Things I would have changed:

    I don't feel any changes are needed.

    What others should know:

    I am an outcast in the gun world. Left Handed. Holsters are almost impossible to find. When I do find one they want a car payment for it.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing as far as this model. But the full blowback model is the better choice.

    Things I liked:

    At first glance it's more than sufficient representing the image of a P-08 Luger.

    Things I would have changed:

    The only changes I would make I have already accomplished by aging it. Nothing like Scotch Brite scouring pads and really fine grit sandpaper to put some well maintained age on the pistol preparing it for a WW11 German display.

    What others should know:

    I cannot attest to how it shoots and really don't have any plans to do so. I collect WW1 & WW11 war related memorabilia. Helmets, awards, edged weapons model airplanes etc.. This Umarex P-08 filled a nice little niche in lieu of a genuine firearm.

    Things I liked:

    Decided to get the non-blowback version for reliability and max fps. I'm glad I did. This pistol is rock solid and reliable. I am getting 5 mags per co2 cartridge. That's 105 shots! Trigger is heavy but with concentration good accuracy is achievable. I have 5 total mags so I don't have to count shots.

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing. Even the mags are made of metal.

    What others should know:

    Trigger will give your finger a workout. However now all my other pistols feel like they have hair triggers due to the strengthening of my trigger finger. Very happy with this pistol.

    Things I would have changed:

    Include 1 or 2 extra magazines

    What others should know:

    Buy extra magazines and sometimes a BB gets stuck and you cannot easily insert the magazine, just shake the pistol and the BB will fall out.

    Great pistol that las over 100 shots per Co2 Cartridge. Not a blowback model. Easy to load the 21 BBs. I felt like a German Field Marshall .

    Things I would have changed:

    Nothing.

    What others should know:

    Had difficlulty on removing grip for insert of cartridge. Trick is to lift bottom of grip and slide upward.

    Things I liked:

    I really like the feel and weight. I prefer this drop out magazine over the more prototypical magazine that includes the CO2 cartridge. Even at fall temperatures near freezing, I shoot between 6 and 7 mags per cartridge. I have used only the Umarex Hornady BBs and have had no misfires. I also own the blowback version but prefer the increased power with this model. Straight out of the box, it shoots straight and accurate at 15 yds. I really like the 2 stages to the trigger. You can feel the BB load, then a slight click to the trigger. Pausing at this point to aim puts you right on target.

    Things I would have changed:

    I would prefer a model in between this with the full 2 stage trigger and the blowback model. This 'tweener' would be non-blowback but have a movable slide and a trigger with either single or 2 stage, with manual cocking available by racking the slide and with the power of this model (similar to the non-blowback Makarov).

    Weight, feel, function and look are outstanding. Awesome gun in your hand. Operates flawlessly.

    Things I would have changed:

    As far as the gun itself...nothing. Works great right out of the box. One thing is this gun sucks up CO2. It takes a lot of gas to operate the heavy blow back slide. Two mags max per cartridge...maybe.

    What others should know:

    Overall and Value ratings are 4s because of gas consumption only.

    Different versions availables so you can do compromise or not, its up to you.

    I buy the cheapest version (Under 70$). It's ok (appearence, performance, etc.) but the mecanism is limited to the minimum (compromise on the base of realism).

    Nex time, I will accept to pay a little bit more considering the ratio realism-cost...
