Even by modern technology, the production cost of a quality Luger would be very high in comparison to other automatics on the market today. The principal of Luger operation requires much tighter tolerances than say a M1911 Colt, or the new Barettas. Nowadays the craftsmanship of the old Lugers would simply be too expensive to produce in comparison with other autos made today. In my opinion, this craftsmanship is what makes the Luger special.
