A Luger (Pistole Parabellum), is a toggle lock pistol based on principles by Hiram Maxim. It is semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and operates on the short-recoil principle. The pistol, designed by Georg Luger, was an evolution of the earlier Hugo Borchardt design, the Borchardt C-93. The Borchardt-Luger was introduced in 1898.
