P08 Luger Locking Bolt

The P08 Luger Locking Bolt is a critical component of the Luger P08 pistol’s toggle-lock mechanism. It serves as the locking element that secures the toggle assembly in place during firing. When a round is discharged, the locking bolt ensures the breech remains closed long enough for chamber pressure to drop to a safe level. As the toggle mechanism moves rearward under recoil, the locking bolt is cammed downward, allowing the toggle to hinge upward and cycle the action.

Manufactured with precise tolerances, the locking bolt contributes to the Luger’s distinctive operation, combining strength, reliability, and the finely engineered mechanics that made the P08 one of the most iconic semi-automatic pistols of the 20th century.
