And yet&#8230;they all kinda look the same, don&#8217;t they? (If you are a Luger collector, don&#8217;t answer that!) A great many ( I daresay the significant majority) of the Luger variations are minor changes in production details. So, what was involved in the mechanical evolution of the Luger?<\/p>\n<p>Not much, really &#8211; which is a testament to the talents of Georg Luger. He got the gun almost totally right on his first try. There are, however, two major variants of the Luger mechanically &#8211; the 1900 model and the 1906 model. In this video I will walk through the differences between these two, as well as the initial Borchardt pistol that Luger used as his starting point and a couple other relevant milestones (a Swiss trials gun and a transitional French trials gun). And since they are the most common of the military models, we will also take a quick look at the German Army, Navy, and Artillery models.<\/p>\n<p>Related:<\/p>\n<p>Early Automatic Pistol Cartridges: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=msQI6ongp24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=msQI6ongp24<\/a><br \/>\nDevelopment of the 1911: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vgOicEVA4u8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vgOicEVA4u8<\/a><br \/>\nDevelopment of the Walther P38: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JXAMma6mUq8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JXAMma6mUq8<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons Merch! http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons Lugers! there are approximately a gazillion different recognized varieties, because the pistol became so popular and iconic.
