Note: The following details are about the KWC non-licensed variation of the Legends P-08.

Trigger Pull: The KWC P-08 Luger CO2 Blowback BB Pistol features an exceptional Single Action Only trigger. It offers a very brief initial movement followed by a smooth, light release. The action is concise, facilitating quick and consistent successive shots. As a single-action mechanism without an external hammer, the first shot requires manual toggling to chamber a BB and cock the hammer. Subsequent shots are automatically readied by the blowback action, with the toggle locking back when the magazine empties.

Accuracy: The KWC P-08 Luger tends to fire slightly high, about 3 inches above the target at 30 feet. With fixed sights, I compensated by aiming lower. The pistol shot accurately from left to right. At 30 feet, my 10-shot grouping was impressively tight, with most shots within a 1-inch area, and only three shots slightly widening the group to around 2.5 inches.

Build Quality: This nearly all-metal KWC P-08 Luger CO2 Blowback BB Pistol is solidly constructed, weighing approximately 1.84 pounds, closely mirroring the real Luger's weight of 1.92 pounds. The grips and gas tube are the only plastic components. Typical of KWC firearms, the pistol features a powder-coated finish that looks superb but may show wear on higher friction areas.

Realism: The KWC P-08 Luger is an impressively faithful replica of the original Luger P-08, mirroring its operational parts and field-stripping capability. The finish, though slightly darker than ideal, is the only aspect that slightly diverges from the classic blued look of the original.

Pros:

  • Hefty blowback toggle action with a lock-back on the last shot.
  • Substantial metal construction with a weight comparable to the real Luger.
  • Satisfactory FPS and precision.
  • Faithfully replicates the real Luger P-08, complete with functional components.
  • Exceptionally light and crisp single-action trigger.
  • Capable of being field-stripped.
  • Available in both 4.5mm Steel BB and 6mm Plastic Airsoft versions.

Cons:

  • Paint wear is noticeable in areas of high contact, a common trait in KWC firearms.
  • Fixed sights, shooting slightly higher than the point of aim.
  • The black paint finish could be more authentic with a grey or blue hue.

Comments:

KWC's addition to the lineup of classic, ultra-realistic pistols is commendable. It's exciting to see more historical firearms being replicated by various manufacturers. KWC enhances the experience by incorporating blowback action and a full-size, metal CO2 and BB magazine. The option to choose between 4.5mm Steel BB or 6mm Plastic Airsoft variants adds to its appeal. For Luger enthusiasts seeking the utmost in realism, KWC's Luger P-08 is the top choice.

The Magazine

Overall, a good first impression. One note, though: make sure you give the mag a bit of a slap on insertion. Or, if you slide it in, do so FIRMLY. I just evacuated a new air cylinder because I didn't have the mag fully seated.

Very Nice; True Replica

The P08 feels good in the hand like the real one. Love the true to detail in the safety bar coming up when on safe. In my opinion the black grips of the "Black Widow" are much ecstatically pleasing.

As I own a real original Luger...

I have to say the realism and functioning of the action is as close as possible to the real thing. A Luger has to be the most complex pistol ever built. The machining tolerances of the original ones was so tight that the gun turned out to be a bit too good for combat duty. The Umarex offering operates like the original and appears to take down the same way (dont do it unless you are sure of what you're doing). This means it's a very satisfying pistol to own with undeniably great historical value.

PoohGrips

The grips are so bad, it’s the first thing I noticed when I picked up the gun. I had to wrap grip tape around it ��‍♂️. For the price they should be wood at least. Can’t even find BB gun grips without wasting time with a Dremel to refit it. The weight surprised me. It has a heavy feel and looks close to the original. I obviously don’t like the crappy warning print on the side… I can’t say how well it shoots or accuracy cause I’m waiting for some steel bbs. I really need new grips!!!! Fuuhhhhhh. I’d have given 5star if not for them grips

Nice replica

I found this p08 to be as close to my 1942 p08 in feel, looks and weight. Just a fun shooter when you don't feel likè going to the range..

Another great air replica by Umarex

Feels nice in your hands with the steel construction. One CO2 will last for 3 magazines with the blowback action. Accuracy, it's a 300 ft/sec smooth bore BB air pistol, don't have too high expectations or buy the Umarex fixed barrel Glock BB air pistol. Fun factor is 5 stars.
