Overall people, a GREAT replica that is a bit more than just a wall hanger but based on the inconsistent and inaccurate shooting, it's not more by much. When plinking, save this one for your friend who swears he is a crack shot, place down a bet and you use a cheap Daisy BB pistol. This is one way to get more entertainment out of a fairly useless pistol and to make some of your money back.
Pros
All metal firearm is hefty and feels real. The blowback action and operation is astoundingly accurate and functional. The trigger is sweet and crisp. It's built like a brick outhouse. The P08 breaks down almost like the original via the takedown lever. Watching that toggle pop up and down is a hecka sight to see. Slide locks back on empty magazine. It fires with decent force.
Cons
This is, seriously, the most inaccurate co2 pistol I own. It is not user error. I can slowly and methodically empty a magazine at a splatter target about 40' away and this thing misses every time. The BB's fly everywhere but mostly low and to the right. There is no danged way to hit that target. Lest you think it's me, I have picked up a cheap, all plastic Daisy CO2 pistol immediately after shooting this and I hit 2" groupings at the same target, same distance. The sights are true to the original which is to say that they are AWFUL. I cannot tell you why this one is so inaccurate but even at bench rest, sand bag shooting, you still can't hit a barn door with this.
Pros
This is a very realistic replica! The blowback action really adds to the fun shooting this pistol. The crescent moon shaped trigger is very smooth. The safety switch is positive and just like the original luger.
Cons
The grips are the only thing I would change either to a heavier plastic or another material.
At only 300 fps this is just a target pistol but it's lot's of fun! Pretty accurate too.
Pros
This is a very realistic replica of the German Luger. The blowback function really adds to the fun of target shooting. I assume the CO2 cartridge will not last long though. Still, I think it's worth it in this case.
Cons
As with all of these replicas, the grips look good but have a very plasticy feel. A rubber grip would be more authentic and feel better.
Buy it - shoot it - have a ball!
Pros
Way too much fun!
Blowback action makes for a 'real' experience and really doesn't affect your aim. This pistol is VERY accurate and it fires as fast. as you can pull the trigger. It's too tempting to empty the full magazine all at once. Love it
Cons
Make loading the magazine easier.....or at least put in a stop for the spring so you don't need to hold it all of the time while trying to load it.
If you own a powder burner of this pistol. Highly recommend getting this for cheaper practice.
Pros
Bought this model for my Dad's birthday. He has an original German officers model. He was "shocked" at the attention to detail, weight.. all of it. It's absolutely the best.
Cons
Non
If you're a collector you need this pistol.
Pros
Nice weight and feel. Shoots well and on target from 10m.
Cons
Wooden grips and a tab that would hold back the spring for loading bbs.
Pros
It has an authentic feel and looks amazing
Cons
It will not feed a single round and when I try to un jam it it expelled the entire co2 cartridge it absolutely does not function I am so disappointed
Pros
The blowback and slide mechanism IS very cool and fun to shoot. Weight and detail are really nice. Accuracy is pretty darn good for what it is (a blowback replica).
Cons
1cart only shoots 2clips (42rds). It does exactly 2 clips though so I guess that’s convenient. I know that’s the price you pay for the cool blowback but it’s a little disappointing. I wish it had 2 clips included.
Great fun
Pros
Most authentic air pistol that I have and I have many air pistols. I think the volocity is greater than the 300 fps that it is
rated at. Mine hits very hard.
Cons
Only complaint is that co2 leaks out overnight. So load it and shoot it.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Can this gun be dry fired. No BBs. I need a German WW2 gun for the stage and of course can not shoot somebody with a projectile. The sound seems good enough to fairly realistically fire the gun. Will the blowback mechanism prevent me from firing dry?
asked Eberhard from USACan this version also be field stripped like the WWII edition
asked AdamYes
Earl from USANeed a Fix for unwanted "Full Auto" after 1 month of use.
asked Mike D,Will after market wooden grips fit?
asked Michael DeMitaDoes the toggle stay open on the last BB? THanks
asked Robert from USAYes
Earl from USADoes the non blowback version have the same look and feel as the blow back gun? Except for the blow back feature is there any difference between them?
asked a from USAFeels real good for the bucks
Earl from USAHello. Could you ship it to Montreal Canada? And how much + - will be shipping? Regards Yuri
asked Yuri from CanadaCan the toggle action be stabilized to get more FPS out of the barrel?
asked Col KlinkDon't think so just buy the non blowback Cheaper n has more FPS
Earl from USAI'm wondering if I can shoot lead pellets with this? I just ordered this, along with 1500 of the H&N copper plated lead pellets. I read somewhere this has a magnetic tip in the bolt?
asked Michael from USAFor some reason I can't get the CO2 cartridge to properly seal in the clip. Can't find any specs on adjustments. When I tighten the nut on the bottom I can hear the cartridge being punctured but the gas escapes completely.
asked SteveUse a little pelloil to seal the leaking and put some tape on top of the co2 cartrige before you tight it. Good luck
AbelYou may need a new o-ring. You sure also try a drop of rem oil on the tip if the cop capsule. You can cut a patch of rubber and place it in the hole with. Be sure to cut a s n all hole for piercing tip.
AlvinI like the look and price of the gun but everyone keeps talking BB's when the AirGunDepot spec sheet says .177 caliber! I assume the group here knows what they were shooting but maybe we can hear from AirGunDepot on this one! I was getting excited! But, BB's make it a "no sale" for me! Thanks guys!
asked Kevin from USAIf u were a cross the pond, u probably be asking for 4.5 mm BBS
Earl from USASteel BBs, vs. lead pellets, pack a harder punch and, being spherical, are easier to load. Just make sure you buy a good-quality. truly spherical BB, such as advertised on these websites. John, Fort Collins, CO
John CalhounBB ONLY NO PELLETS.
JOHN from USAThis pistol fires .177 caliber BB's, it does not fire .177 caliber pellets.

Scott from USAPage needs a link to extra magazines.
asked Bruce from USAMagazine is now available and the link should be at the bottom of the page now with other offers. also here... https://www.airgundepot.com/legends-p08-magazine.html
Bruce from USAJust click on accessories on the gun's page its there
Stephen A from USAUmarex has not made the extra magazines available yet
Scott from USAIs it the same as KWC P08?
asked PierreYes it is.
Stephen A from USAI believe the Legends series is KWC/Umarex so it's the same item. I have it, and love it.
Simon from USAIt is made by KWC and appears to be identical to their model KMB-41DHN except for the Umarex markings,
David from USAYes, it's the same. Nothing change except the cover of the box.
Vte.Just received the gun. It field strips just like the real 9mm luger that I owned. However, a small plastic or rubber (?) seal (approx. 5/16" OD x 1/16" ID) fell out on the floor? My first thought is that it goes between the CO2 cartridge and the cartridge receiver in the magazine but it does not fit. I believe the magazine has a built in plastic seal? Did it come out of the pistol receiver when you field strip it? There is no parts breakdown like you receive with a regular gun so I can't tell where it goes and won't fire it until I find out.
asked JackIt is a plastic washer that fits into the recess at the rear of the right side of the upper assembly. It fits over the small end of the pivot pin for the rear of the toggle bolt assembly.
David from USALOOK AT THE BACK OF THE TOGGLE,IT GOES ON THE RIGHT SIDE AT THE BACK,YOU WILL SEE WHERE IT'S MISSING FROM. MIND DID IT AND IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO FIGURE IT OUT.
JOHN from USAYes several folks have this problem, I did. This "ring" or "washer" is actually steel though it looks like a rubber seal, try it on a magnet ! It fits right side rear of the pin securing the rear toggle. can only be seen when stripped as the cheek piece of the body hide and retain it normally. I can't see any reason for this piece other than perhaps to reinforce the alloy body by increasing the bearing area, that part does take a bit of a hammering on blow back.
MikeDear Friend! This little plastic seal is from the right side of the toggle. It is placed at the right side end of the linking pin which keeps together the two part of the of the toggle mechanism. Normally, the ears of the frame cover it. This part is not on your original Luger.
Sandor from USAI think you'll find a home for the washer that dropped out on the right hand side of the knuckle rear pin, only to be seen when stripped. I think you will find that it is in fact steel and slightly magnetic. I found this out when trying to pick it up with tweezers to place it in the back end of the barrel. Like you I had no idea where it had come from and thought it was a rubber seal. It seems to be held in by the weak magnetism. Does not seem to serve any real purpose ?
MikeIf this is the washer that I think it is, it goes at the rear of the receiver on the rear toggle pin. It goes on the side opposite of the safety.
LenIt fits on the rear left side of the barrel assembly where the toggle pivot pokes out. You must field strip the pistol and remove the barrel assembly to see it.
GeneThe loose part is a washer that fits in a recess on the receiver to the right of the rear sight.
David HarrisHow many shots do you get from the CO2 cartrage
asked LowellABOUT TWO CLIPS,SOMETIMES MORE.IF YOU SHOOT FAST IT WILL GO THRU CO2 FASTER.
JOHN from USAIt kind of depends on your shooting style - slow or rapid fire. Most people report getting only 30 or 40 shots per cartridge. The Owner's Manual (Page 11) says the "power will noticeably decrease after 30 rounds".
David HarrisYou can get two magazines and a half for every cartrigde
PedroYou can shoot two magazines and a half (more or less) for cartrigde
Pedro
Pros
Looks Only
Cons
Everything! I received this item & was very impressed with the looks & feel. I got the mag out, loaded it. Put in a brand new CO2 cartage. Went to seat the mag. NO-GO! Wouldn't Seat, I tried everything I could think of, without causing damage. Unloaded the Mag - still wouldn't seat. Finally took out the CO2 cartage, it discharged the cartage. Put everything back together, attempted to Seat the Mag --- NO GO, Again. Just returned the item.
