.45 luger quote
 

Hi,

I was re-reading Elmer Keiths excellent 1961 republished version of 'Sixguns' and stumbled across a quote on page 326 I thought was interesting enough to share here:

"One notable development has been the converting of the Luger to .45 auto caliber by Kent Wyatt, (address removed, GVV), Idaho. This has resulted in some very accurate target guns."
--Keith, Sixguns, 1961.

Since I never heard of this Wyatt conversion (must've been between 1955 and 1961), I wonder if anyone has?

--Did some researching and found a gun described as a 'Wyatt-Imthurn' .45 luger for sale (in Google cache, not on that site anymore) and Gerard Henrotin mentioned it in his books.

Any pictures/specs of these 'Wyatts'?

Gerben, the Wyatts I have seen go for about $200, although I saw one for around $1400 a few years ago. They are loaded from the top, and are pretty cool. I have never shot one, but would like to. I don't have a photo, maybe someone else has one or has a Wyatt,

Ed, Rick,

Nice! I never heard of them before until last night when I was reading that line in 'Sixguns'. Excellent to have one pictured after a post here, just a day later!
