The Stoeger Luger was of the same general pattern as the original Luger pistol, but it used a simplified version of the toggle lock, which does not actually 'lock' the action at the moment of firing, but is blowback-operated much like other .22LR autoloading pistols. The gun was designed by Gary Willhelm and manufactured from 1969-1985.

Luger's design eventually became the Luger Parabellum pistol. [1]
