Page 5 - Legends P08 Blowback Reviews

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 !

Outstandingly realistic .

Unfortunately the gun stopped working after shooting it six or seven times .

Read all the information you can about this gun . I should have paid closer attention to the comments I saw on utube .

Very authentic look and feel. Construction appears to be of a high quality with a realistic blow-back action.

I had issues with dropped bb's, intermitently going on full auto and escaping CO2 for no reason. I have returned it for a replacement and am hoping my problems were not the norm.

The realness of this replica the realistic weight and feel of the gun. The very light trigger. This gun is a pleasure to shoot. and the blowback is great. I have 10 air pistols including the non blowback version but this one is my all over favourite and the most fun to shoot.

Nothing that I can think of.

Because of the realistic blowback action the CO2 cylinder does not last much more than two loaded mags about 40 shots.

Blowback action, feels and shoots like the real thing.

This model has the blow-back feature, which is much better than the cheaper model that is offered. It is a full metal and quite hefty for an air gun. (I am a collector of replica guns, so I seldom buy any just to shoot). But this replica is VERY NICE!

The plastic grips are too thin and you can feel them give when you apply pressure to them.

There is a small "TRICK" with the slide. When you empty the magazine the blow back stays open (which it should) but to lower it back down just gently pull the top of the slide, while pulling the trigger, and it will allow the slide to go back down.

very nice gun,not bad accuracy for a bb gun,very realistic operation

mag sticks sometimes . maybe will get better after breakin period

good value,good price, all metal (plastic grips) great replica

An excellent piece of work. The pistol is as close to the real thing as you can get. Handles very well and feels great in your hand.

nice looking gun

goes through co2 too fast

BUYER BEWARE: I purchased this airgun on May 17, 2016. It worked satisfactorily for several months, running around 200 or so rounds through it. Then in the middle of a firing session, it simply stop firing; the trigger malfunctioned. With gas and the gun cocked, when one pulled the trigger there was no movement of the trigger, like the safety was on--which it wasn't. I contacted Umarex USA about the problem and was told that they were unable to repair this model. They were willing to sell me another one at their cost plus shipping, which was $2.54 less than I had originally paid for the airgun at Pyramyd Air. Given my experience with the durability of the gun and the company's inability to fix any damages, I declined the offer.

If Umarex USA can't repair their products, I would stay away from their products.

Looks good, feels good, fun to shoot.

Quality control - the thing stopped working after very little use. Will no longer fire.

The complexity and toggle blowback are fun but I don't think the materials are up to it.

Looks like the real Luger. Has good weight. Love the toggle. Excellent trigger pull.

Put adjustable sights on it. And put high visibility dots on it. I would put a longer barrel on it and see if accuracy improves.

My pistol shoots about 4 inches or more to the left of the target. And since i can't adjust the sights i have to live with it. I run out of C02 after 35 shots. This is my 10th air pistol. I get a 4 inch group at 10 metres.

Looks and feels great! It is one of my most accurate bb guns at 20 and 30 feet and the trigger pull is very light so you can really squeeze off accurate hits in the target area. The CO2 is in the magazine and the bbs are really easy to load. You can field strip this gun much like the real thing for good cleaning and lubrication. Accuracy is extremely important to me and this gun doesn't disappoint like some other blow back guns. This gun has everything and does it well.

I would offer a longer barrel accessory (convert it to an artillery version), adjustable sights, and more fps in the 400s for increased range. I would also make available plastic wood grips for those that want that look (but I prefer this look as black grips were more suited for the military where as the wood grips were for police and civilians) Paint finish can chip or wear easily. They should really blue bb guns like the real thing. Already from replacing the mag several times, the paint has worn off the bottom of the mag (circular thumb rest) where it meets gun but it can't be seen when the mag is in the gun.

This is one of the family's favorite guns to shoot at 20 to 30 feet. So far, its been very accurate and the sights seem to be well aligned. After using this gun, then using other guns like the umarex beretta or umarex walther P38, everyone wants to continue using this one. This is a no brainer bb gun to buy and I would highly recommend it over most other blow back bb guns. I also recommending getting some extra mags so you can let them warm up between bb refills and keep the shooting going.

everything, weight, design, good copy of the original

wood grips (or at least wood colored grips)

after firing this gun for at least, twelve rounds, the action went into full automatic, not semi-auto as required.

This is a real close copy of the original P-08 (Luger) 9mm pistol. I love the weight to it, the feel, and the fact that the toggle moves with each shot. This is a nice addition to the "historic" airgun look-alikes I've acquired. You can get a cheaper one - but it won't have the weight and/or the moving toggle. Don't waste you money on those!

The magazines for these are not easy to load - especially with aging eyes and hands. It would be nice if a speed-loader or something making loading easier and more positive could be developed. Also, l buy good quality CO2 powerlet cartridges, but mine only last a couple magazine loads before petering out. This should be improved. Lastly, it would have been well worth the extra probably $10 to have wooden grips, like the original. Nothing fancy, but why black plastic when every other detail is so accurate?

Remember, this is almost an exact copy - so the sights are as difficult to use on this as they are on the real thing (again, especially with aging eyes). I would NOT change this though - having an accurate copy is more important.

Overall feel and look of the gun.

Test fire these guns at the manufacturing plant to detect flaws. The workings of the gun seemed very tight.

The gun I purchased jammed on the first firing. I cleared the jam and fired again and it jammed again. I tried lubricating everything but it still jammed. I sent back for a refund. I would highly recommend you pay the extra $10.00 to have your gun tested.

The look and feel of this pistol is great. Feels like the real thing in your hand

Other than having a speed loader for this gun I wouldn't change a thing on the pistol. Very happy with my purchase

Just plain fun to shoot!

Nothing.

When you get this Luger, be prepared to do more shooting.

My 7 year old can hit every bottle at 20 ft. She loves it, yes, she! Looks so much like the real thing, both in looks and function. Really fun to shoot, no regrets.

If they had, use wood, or wood grain for the grips.

If it acts up bad, like jamming open, not wanting to fire. I even had to slam the slide shut. Then i removed the slide, move the little slider mechanism over (left side), and fire. What happened to me is 1 bb got stuck under the hammer. Now it's a champ again. I get about 2 1/2 clips per cartridge (50 ish shots). Still, is a lot of fun. Worth every penny.

Everything for the price. Amazed at the accuracy. I am a horrible pistol shot, but this bb gun, I could shoot very well. Lugers fit my hand very well. Other pistols do not.

Nothing. Lots of gripes about black grips. My Dad's WWII bring back Luger had black Bakelite grips. Not the cheap wood ones. This looks very much like his.

I thought had to pull back on toggle to load bb to fire. Once clip is in with CO2, it will shoot if trigger pulled. Like a double action. I will pull trigger from now on, after clip removed, so have to toggle to set trigger if want to shoot. Always loved the original Luger sights. They are not the fat combat sights everyone seems to think they need these days. Fat sights always covered up my target. Lugers have fine sights not the fat ones.
