What Caliber Was the German Luger in WW2 and Was It a Reliable Handgun?

The German Luger pistol, also known as the Parabellum-Pistole, was a semi-automatic handgun developed by Georg Luger and Hugo Borchardt in the late 19th century. It was officially adopted by the German military in 1908 and remained in service until the end of World War II.

The Luger was chambered in 9mm Parabellum, which is a 9x19mm caliber cartridge. This cartridge was developed specifically for the Luger pistol and was also used in a variety of other firearms, including the Maschinenpistole 40 (MP40) submachine gun and the StG 44 assault rifle.

The Luger was a well-made and reliable pistol. It was accurate, powerful, and easy to use. The Luger was also very popular with German soldiers, who appreciated its reliability and durability.

However, the Luger was also a relatively expensive pistol to produce. This made it less desirable for mass production during wartime. As a result, the Luger was gradually phased out of service in favor of cheaper and more easily produced pistols, such as the Walther P38.
