Very interesting article, and of course written by someone who drank the Luger Kool Aid. Of course there was a Army conspiracy against the beloved and perfect Luger.
And of course it is permissible to allow competitors to use their own specialized ammunition, thus locking the Government in a sole source ammunition situation by the winner. Of course the 1911 is inferior in all respects to the Luger. Of course, of course.
Any one remember the Germans went to the P38? The conspiracy against the Luger extends to the Nazi leadership! Of course, of course.
However, I congratulate the gunsmith making the new 45ACP Lugers for the work effort, and just neat factor of a 45 ACP Luger. I will recommend, as much as they cost now, buy one. When production ends, a $8500 to $5,000 45 ACP Luger will be the "good old days". And buy a boat load of magazines. Think of filling a 55 gallon drum with magazines. Don't get stuck like Bren Ten owners. A number of Bren Ten owners purchased the pistol with the promise the magazines would follow. Oppsie!, the company went bust before the ship shorts were filled. At the time a Bren Ten magazine was $200 in the after market, might be $600 to $1,000. Interesting article:

Have a bud who purchased a mint 22lr High Standard. Came with one magazine. The aftermarket magazines he purchased are unreliable, one set came with an adjustment tool that does nothing.
