Martz .45 Mag Capacity?
 
I have been told that the John Martz .45 Luger magazine only holds three rounds. Can anyone verify or refute this?

I don't know Dwight, but I was under the impression it was a 7 shot?

Here is a picture of a Martz 45 magazine from the member gallery:

Also, Tom Heller commented this on an earlier thread:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">By eliminating the magazine (loading from top like a broom) Wyatt was able to get a "hogged out" single PO8 frame to hold the flat nosed 45acp ammo shown. Martz, one the other hand, welds two PO8 frames together and uses a modified Sig 220 mag.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">

The Martz 45 holds 5 rounds (#5 is very tight).
