While not quite as reliable overall as the M1911A1, [the P08 Luger] is the champ in the mud. There is no place for globs of mud to enter the mechanism and it is good at throwing the mud off when fired. I thought the Germans replaced the Luger with the P-38 because (a) the P-38 was cheaper to manufacture; and (b) the Luger didn't handle dirty conditions as well.

I had a “liberated” Luger after WWII and it was the worst, most unreliable weapon I have ever owned.
The Walther P-38 I had at the same time was far superior.
