I don't see the attraction of the .45 Luger. History suggests that the ballistic legacy of John Moses Browning so well mated with automatic Colt pistols, is ill accommodated by the handgun designs of Hugo Borchardt and Georg Luger. If Norinco could get its act together to produce a historically correct and properly functioning 9mm Parabellum pistol fitted and finished to the pre-WWI DWM standard, they would have a best-seller at around $1195.00.
