Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Gletcher P08 Luger is medium pull for a SAO style trigger, it has a fairly shot take-up with a nice release point. The trigger definitely looks the parts with it's crescent shape and exposed spring. I would expect this pistol to behave well in the target accuracy department, at least the trigger will not be the problem.

Build Quality: The Gletcher P08 CO2 BB Pistol is really well made overall, pretty much the entire pistol is metal except for the grips of course and has a really nice weight to it. The finish looks really nice and the fit is good, the toggle feels nice and tight and all the mechanical parts function smoothly.

Realism: With the exception of the metal stick magazine, the Gletcher seems to have all it's other parts in order, even a working Toggle with Blowback, although the toggle does not lock back on the last shot! The Gletcher P08 certainly looks the part of a Luger P08, Gletcher has hidden the inner barrel by recessing it a little bit and the CO2 screw is well hidden under the magazine. It would have been nice to have been able to field strip the gun, but perhaps people will get into less trouble losing parts without this ability.

Pros:

• Mostly all metal, nice and heavy at 2 pounds
• CO2 is well hidden
• Recessed barrel adds to realism
• 21 round all metal stick magazine
• Realistic blowback toggle operation
• Lots of working parts
• True a very realistic SAO trigger design that seems to have a nice light trigger pull

Cons:

• Does not seem to be easily field strippable
• Painty at the rear of the toggle seems to have chipped off a a bit
• Would have liked to have seen a full size drop out metal magazine on this gun

Comments:
This is the third Gletcher pistol I have reviewed and I am really liking their products! I like that they offer some very unique Airguns that many other companies are not addressing. My Gletcher P08 does have some competition from Umarex and KWC but it has its own selling points for sure, I figure it fits in nicely right between the Umarex and KWC P08's in terms of offering realism and practicality. So now we have a few choices when it comes to purchasing a 4.5mm CO2 BB firing P08 Luger, choice is a good thing!
