1938 Swedish Army Trials Luger
This video delves into the history of the Luger pistol's involvement in Swedish military trials. It details the 1904 trials where the Luger was found to be accurate but expensive, leading to the adoption of the Browning 1903. The video then covers the 1938/39 trials, where a new model Luger was tested alongside the Walther HP and Lahti M35. While the Luger again proved most accurate, its cost and reliability concerns persisted. The narrative highlights the procurement of 300 Mauser-produced 1938 Lugers for these trials, detailing their configurations and markings. The eventual adoption of the Lahti M40 due to wartime disruptions is also discussed.
