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 &mdash; 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 &mdash; 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><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_2020-08-13-Development-of-the-Luger-Automatic-Pistol.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_2020-08-13-Development-of-the-Luger-Automatic-Pistol-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-59548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_2020-08-13-Development-of-the-Luger-Automatic-Pistol-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_2020-08-13-Development-of-the-Luger-Automatic-Pistol-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_2020-08-13-Development-of-the-Luger-Automatic-Pistol-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot_2020-08-13-Development-of-the-Luger-Automatic-Pistol.png 853w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten Weapons Published 31 Oct 2016 http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons Merch! http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forg&#8230; Lugers! there are approximately a gazillion different recognized varieties, because the pistol became so popular and iconic.
