After initial trials, DWM, Savage, and Colt were asked to provide further samples for evaluation. DWM provided two samples chambered in for testing. In 1906, the US Army held trials for a large-caliber semi-automatic. 38 caliber revolvers in the Philippines and ballistic tests would result in a requirement for still-larger rounds.
Later, a small number were sampled in the then-new, more powerful 9 mm round. In 1900 the US purchased 1000 7.65 mm Lugers for field trials. The United States evaluated several semi-automatic pistols in the late 1800s, including the Colt M1900, Steyr Mannlicher M1894, and an entry from Mauser.
The Lange Pistole 08 or Artillery Luger had a stock and longer barrel, and sometimes used with a 32 round drum magazine (Trommelmagazin 08). 'Artillery Luger' Lange Pistole 08 with 32 round Trommel-Magazin 08 and removable stock.The Luger pistol was accepted by the German Navy in 1904, and in 1908 (as Pistole 08) by the German Army (chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum) replacing the Reichsrevolver. The Swiss Army evaluated the Luger pistol in 7.65 mm P (.30 Luger in USA) and adopted it in 1900 as its standard sidearm, designated Ordonnanzpistole 00 or OP00, in 1900. In 1930, Mauser took over manufacture of the P.08 (until 1943). The P.08 was the usual sidearm for German Army personnel in both world wars, though it was being replaced by the Walther P38 starting in 1938. William "Bill" Ruger praised the Luger's 55 degree grip angle and duplicated it in his. The Luger pistol was manufactured to exacting standards and has a long service life. Among those the Luger pistol (German Army designation Pistole 08) was examined however, unlike the Mauser C96, which was converted in great numbers to Reihenfeuerpistolen, the Luger proved to have an excessive rate of fire in full-automatic mode. In World War I, as submachine guns were found to be effective in trench warfare, experiments with converting various types of pistols to machine pistols (Reihenfeuerpistolen, literally "row-fire pistols" or "consecutive fire pistols") were conducted. This resulted in either the breechblock not clearing the top cartridge of the magazine, or becoming jammed open on the cartridge's base. This mechanism worked well for higher pressure cartridges, but cartridges loaded to a lower pressure could cause the pistol to malfunction because they did not generate enough recoil to work the action fully. The entire sequence occurs in a fraction of a second. The toggle and breech assembly subsequently travel forward (under spring tension) and the next round from the magazine is loaded into the chamber.
At this point the barrel stops its rearward movement (it impacts the frame), but the toggle and breech assembly continue moving (bending the knee joint) due to momentum, extracting the spent casing from the chamber and ejecting it. After moving roughly one-half inch (13 mm) rearward, the toggle strikes a cam built into the frame, causing the knee joint to hinge and the toggle and breech assembly to unlock.
After a round is fired, the barrel and toggle assembly (both locked together at this point) travel rearward due to recoil. The Luger uses a toggle-lock action, which utilizes a jointed arm to lock, as opposed to the slide actions of almost every other semi-automatic pistol. Though the Luger pistol was first introduced in 7.65x22mm Parabellum, it is notable for being the pistol for which the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge was developed. The Luger was made popular by its use by Germany during World War I and World War II. Luger in 1898 and produced by German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) starting in 1900 it was an evolution of the 1893 Hugo Borchardt designed C-93. The Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum), popularly (but incorrectly) known as the Luger, is a toggle locked, recoil operated, semi-automatic pistol.
