Page 4 - Legends P08 Blowback Reviews

Looks are really nice.

The velocity is awful i can actually see the BB in flight after fired. Sometimes co2 pours out end of barrel i am getting very few shots per co2.Am getting no consistent accuracy at all.

I like the overall quality of the gun. Its realism. Its working. Its functions simply great!

Wooden grips pls! And some cheaper spare magazine. The non-blowback version has the benefit of a cheaper magazine.

Be VERY careful! If you don't thread the co2 capsule hard enough. The gas will escape at the first shot! If you dont put the magazine in hard enough... Same thing. But this 2nd one appears only at the first 2-3 reloads, until the paint fades a little bit. After that it will slide in correctly.

Amazing, very realistic and pretty accurate. Safety is labelled in German, easy to take apart and put back together.

Make it easier to initially load it. you have to have the action pulled back to load it (when there are BB's in the mag). i like to store it with the action closed and had the mag drop out 6 or 7 times before i realized you have to pull back the action

After about 1 year, sadly, the part that you pull back in the mag (to load BB's) broke off.

Everything!!!

Extra mag would be nice during purchase. I believe in having/carrying 2 mags for every gun I use.

Elevation and windage adjustable sights would be a plus. Mine shoots 1 inch left and 1/2 inch high at 14 feet. That's out of the box. I'm working on correcting this. I've already adjusted shooting techniques, so I know it's the gun. Not complaining, just letting you all know that you may experience the same. From what I read on the posts, the chances are that you won't. That's a good thing, and this is a good gun!

Extremely realistic look, feel, and function! I'm impressed with how this gun accurately simulates the mechanically complex toggle lock action of a real P.08! Shooting accuracy is spot on too! This gun has a hop-up system, which is common in 6mm airsoft guns but usually is not found in steel BB guns. It works, the BBs fly straight and true a good 80 feet or so before even starting to drop off.

Nit picking here, but the dummy barrel opening that shrouds the real 4.5mm barrel is not really 9mm in size. It actually replicates a 40 cal barrel. To be even more realistic, the fake barrel hole should be a bit smaller.

When I first got the gun it was running a bit rough, and was malfunctioning. I field stripped the gun and found that there were two grub screws coming loose that attach the outer barrel. These screws were scraping on the rails and slowing it down. I tightened them up, added some oil, and the gun has been running flawless ever since! It field strips just like a real P.08.

The realistic function, size, and weight of this gun are all strong pros. The similarities between some of the parts for the trigger, takedown, and safety mechanism and a real Luger are uncanny! If you want a P08 replica that's higher quality than a Denix, but also shoots, then this is your best bet.

Perhaps the separate sale of some brown Bakelite style grips, which would add some interesting looks to the gun, but also wouldn't take much to manufacture.

The mechanism of this gun is very precise, all of the parts on the toggle system are very closely fit, and if you want to maintain proper function of the gun, you would be best off getting some Moly Grease for the metal-to-metal contacts, and some Ballistol for general lubrication of the gun. Make sure you properly lubricate this gun before shooting it, otherwise you will be drastically shortening the lifespan of the mechanism. Moly Grease: https://www.pyramydair.com/product/air-venturi-moly-metal-to-metal-paste-1-oz?a=3498 Ballistol: https://www.pyramydair.com/product/ballistol-lube-non-aerosol-4oz?a=5141 In addition to this - Don't buy this gun strictly for shooting. It's a unique piece of firearms history, and should be treated with care, and only shot once in a while. If you want a Luger to shoot frequently, Umarex makes another one with less realistic function when compared with this, but P08 Non-Blowback: https://www.pyramydair.com/product/legends-parabellum-p-08-co2-pistol?m=3151

Looks, feels & shoots like the real thing. As accurate as a smoothbore can be. Sharp detailing, crisp trigger. Exceeds expectations. 2 magazines per CO2 cylinder.

Supply 2 magazines or make spares more affordable.

Excellent value. Pure fun to shoot.

Very good quality, fun to shoot and operate, and i really like this gun.

I would love for the gun to have a stronger trigger system, the gun parts there wear down and make the gun shoot in automatic...it sounds cool for it to shoot like that but its not when it does it EVERY TIME. Would like to see more separate accessories for this and also some brown grips.

I had the gun for 3 or 4 months before it went full on CRAZY. The first sign of craziness is when i shot it and it just went in automatic. then it done that every time. After a month i went outside to shoot it, pulled the trigger and the gun was DEFECTED...it started shooting by it self after I put it down, i was like "DANG" and i returned it a few days later...its a shame...i would recommend careful oiling to moving parts to hold this back a little more.

This is an uthentic and feels like the real thing in the hand. crisp trigger . I think it takes aboult LBSs. force yo pull the trigger. the metal and composite handle feel good int the hands.

When you accidently add 22 instead of 32 BB to the magazine all the BBS come rushing out.

this is a decnet blowback gun

A very impressive replica of a Luger P08. Feels good in your hand. The blowback feature offers a realistic shooting experience. You can field strip the pistol to service it and to keep the blowback slide lubricated. Trigger response is good.

This would even be a better replica if it came with wooden grips instead of the plastic ones. I would have paid extra for wooden grips.

This pistol works best with Umarex brand CO2 cartridges and BBs. This pistol does not have adjustable sights and its accuracy really starts to fade after 15 feet. You will be able to shoot 40 BBs on one CO2 cartridge.

Very good pistol - the weight and feel are very realist!

Change the hand-grips, they are too plastic-ly, it detracts from the overall appearance of the gun!

A good one to add to your collection!

The look and the feel is great, probably more accurate then I am. Goes through co2 but that Doesn't bother me, I got it for shooting Javalinas, they are a big target, really makes them run

Can't think of a thing, well maybe take down instructions, but I figured it out

I like the style and how close it is to the real firearm. It was much cheaper then the real firearm.

I would suggest the design be reworked After about 15 magazines it started going full automatic and that destroys any accuracy. I have been disappointed with the po8 style pistols. I purchased an airsoft model and the bb gun model and both have had the same problem. Also on another airsoft pistol from another company the pistol loaded two Airsoft bbs and it blew the barrel off

After having two airsoft pistol problem and the same with the bb gun the would go full auto after about fifteen magazines each. I cannot recommend this style of pistol. When it was working properly it was a fun and unique gun to fire. but with the same problem surfacing with three different pistols I do not care for the quality control.

Looks, quality of manufacture, blowback operation, likeness to real pistole 08.

Put realistic looking wood grips on this replica. Make magazine loading MUCH more easy - at least add a detent to hold spring loader down.

Accuracy with fixed (though realistic) sights is terrible. Pyramid Air advertises sale prices and free shipping when neither is true. Free BBs that come with this pistol are not steel BBs andthus wont work in this gun and could cause jams and malfunction.

This is a very nice pistol. It appears to be authentic looking. It has a very nice blow-back kick when fired. One of my favorite air pistols.

I haven't found anything that needs to be changed.

The fit and finish of the pistol is amazing and the weight really makes it feel like the real deal. The action and magazine release function like a real firearm and the slide toggle even locks back on the last round.

The CO2 has to be loaded with a large Hex key (provided) so you have to bring that out when you shoot each time because a single CO2 cartridge only lasts about 2 magazines or 42 rounds. When the CO2 runs out, you'll hear a slight release of air and then you have to pull the toggle slide back and drop the bag so you can unload the last BB in the chamber. The magazine has the CO2 and 21 BBs contained within the unit and loading the BBs is done by pulling the loading slide down and dropping rounds into a hole in midway on the magazine side. The accuracy is nothing special and I would compare it to a decent airsoft gun at 300fps so don't expect to snipe anything beyond 15 feet.

I picked up one of these Legends Luger Replica BB Pistols on sale last month and I must say this is a fun pistol to hit cans with in the backyard!

Great realism,

Wood or wood looking grips!

P08 holster fits and wood grips can be fitted, mine looks good I am going to try to upload pics! I had to repair mine once myself, a piece inside unscrewed fortunately it didn't get lost.

Weight looks good

This blow back Luger is JUNK ------- Good paper weight ----- like I said it has good weight.

Like I said this Luger blow back is (JUNK) worked for about a dozen shots then nothing ----- sent this JUNK back to Pyramy Air ---if I wanted a paper weight I would have gotten something cheaper. (This is just JUNK)

historical detail to the actual model is amazing

I wish somebody would offer a left handed holster. Lefties need love too

An excellent pistol to add to anyone's collection . A well constructed airgun

Very real, I have never handled a P08 but now I feel I have a better knowledge of how this legendary weapon works after handling this very real replica.

Nothing, it works and feels very good.

I only have one complaint, this hand gun is very different to fire. The rear sight pops up as it loads for next round. Very real to the original P08 but I can't seem to be very accurate. Wear eye protection !
