The Umarex Legends Luger P-08 Blowback BB Pistol recreates one of the most iconic historical sidearms with realistic handling and operation. Powered by a 12g CO2 cartridge, this full-metal air pistol features the famous toggle-link blowback system that cycles during firing to simulate recoil and authentic mechanical movement.

The Legends P-08 features a smooth trigger action with a light, consistent break that supports controlled follow-up shots. The toggle system cycles with each shot, automatically preparing the next round while maintaining the distinctive operating feel associated with the original Luger design.

The smoothbore barrel is optimized for steel BB shooting and delivers consistent grouping performance for recreational target practice. Fixed sights provide a traditional aiming setup consistent with the historical firearm design.

Constructed primarily from metal components, the pistol provides realistic weight and solid handling characteristics. The full-metal frame and moving toggle assembly contribute to authentic balance and mechanical feedback during operation.

Realism:
The Umarex Legends series focuses on historical authenticity, and the P-08 replica closely mirrors the appearance and function of the original firearm. The functioning toggle blowback system, weight distribution, and overall profile make it a highly realistic reproduction for enthusiasts and collectors.

Good for price

Very realistic weight and action 5/5 would recommend buying, also great shipping and service ordered a BB gun from a site in my own province a few days prior and got the one from replica days before the original own arrived

Umarex Luger PO8 is one my top three pistols!

This is an exceptional replica of the Luger PO8. Very solidly constructed. The toggle action functions flawlessly so far and it is of course so unique, unlike an other pistol. Holds well in the hand and shoots accurately. My only negative comment is it is a CO2 hog. Can get two magazines for sure, but I have yet to make it through three full mags. That said, this pistol is so well constructed it is difficult to fault it. As a world war replica, it is almost impossible to top it.

Very Realistic replica

I agree with much of what has already been said. What I can add, being the lucky owner of a real Luger is that this is an excellent replica. It strips and feels very like the real thing. The grip of the Umarex is ever so slightly thicker, presumably to accommodate the CO2 cartridge. And yes it could look a bit more real in terms of being blued rather than matt black and the grips could look a bit like dirty wood instead of black plastic. But if you want the feel of the real thing in your hand I heartily recommend this replica.

Excellent Replica

This was a great replica, I would definitely recommend it. I haven't really been testing it for accuracy so thats why its at 3 stars, but im sure if i actually put some effor into it, it would be an excellent shooter. Build quality is fantastic, and the gun runs like a champ. I haven't faced any issues as some other customers have, i guess only time will tell.

Happy

Nice replica, right weight, authentic look, handle could be brown, works fine. But eats CO2 very fast! I can go through one clip and it's out by half of the second one, pretty disappointing! Anyhow, it's worth the money!

Beautiful but it's what's inside that wasn't there

Let me first just say it now works, but the fact that I have to disassemble the unit just to get the mag release to properly catch is insane. It started with my first shot, first the mag was locked in and I had to put a decent amount of force to get it out, but it when I shot the toggle, it locked back and co2 liquid spurted on me and my friend. Oh and the mag flew out so after the disassembly tightening a few screws it now works properly and might I just say it is amazing. I love it almost as much as my m712 I would recommend it with caution, if your a gun nut and understand very basic engineering.
