Just realized, I have all three 
My Grandfather took the P-08 Luger off a German that was trying to kill him. 
I also have his beloved 1911

| I still have my grandfathers Luger as well but he did not take it off a German soldier he was issued a Luger. Had your grandfather been captured and that pistol been found on him the SS would have executed him. They had orders any one caught with the P-08 was to be executed because American GIs were taking them as trophies. It did not stop them from taking them either. Nice piece of history. Also the history of the Luger is quite fascinating how the design hardly changed from inception to later models on a few minor changes were made. |

Quoted:
i wanted a CZ p07 but i just could not get my thumb away from the decocker 
this was the same issue i had with the XD service line pistols. my thumb would drop the slide from hitting the slide stop nice collection though i am jealous  I replaced the decocker with the ( included ) thumb safety on both cocked & locked FTW |
I ended up making another thread on the LUGER also.... http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_5_44/172750_My-Family-P-08-Luger.html |
