This past weekend I got the chance to see some pistols brought back by my wife's grandfather from WWII, including a P38 and a P.08.
The P38 has some serious holster wear but seems built like a tank. The Luger, however, may have some problems. If you tip it back and forth the top part of the frame really slops around, showing a noticeable gap with the bottom half when tipped backwards. The toggle can be pulled up but must be pushed back down manually, rather than cycling on its own.
Is there a problem here and what is it? Can this be fixed?
