Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
“Erma” is a contraction of Erfurter Maschinen und Werkzeugfabrik, later known as Erfurter Maschinenfabrik B Geipel GmbH., or simply Erma-Werke, originally located in Erfurt, Germany. The company was known early-on for making a .22 conversion for the P-08 Parabellum pistol, and during World War II they made the famous MP38 and MP40 submachine guns. After the war and the division of Germany, the company was reconstituted in Munich-Dachau.
All the Erma “Luger” pistols had an unlocked “blow-back” action. In the 50s, the first example of the .22 long rifle auto concept was embodied in a pistol by Erma called the “Old Model.” These are rarely encountered today. Somewhere around 1964, the first Luger-styled pistol, the LA-22, was produced. Its construction was mostly of cast Zamak. Aside from the barrel liner, breech block, and internals of steel, all else was made from this zinc alloy.
The zinc alloy guns were phased out at the end of the 60's and replaced by the totally re-designed KGP-69, in .22 long rifle, which was scaled down about 75% from its predecessors which had mimicked the dimensions and weight of the original Parabellum pistol. The KGP-68 and -68A were scaled to about 2/3 size of the P.08 Luger and came in .380 and .32 auto --they differ only in caliber. The KGP series is more true to the lines of the original Lugers, despite the smaller scale.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
