Now they don’t have very good sights to start, and in 1908 using sights on a handgun was still a bit novel. You pointed and shot. It was to suffice short of rifle distance but considerably beyond that of the saber. They did tests with a blindfolded guy looking at a target then covering and shooting with the Luger. Or something like that.
The grip angle and ergonomics of the Luger made it an extension of one’s hand. Pointing where your eyes were trained. Like pointing your finger naturally. It was interesting. Hopefully it helped. You know most Lugers were .30 cal. NOT 9mm!
