Good question
Hi,
It is a good question...
I did talk to Mike at Krausewerks in CA... His words were...
His plan was to make about 50 of the 1907 45 ACPs he is about to be done with last batch of them and he is not planing on any more.
Martz is not producing any more guns and his are not exact replicas of 1907 ACP model. And are very famous and expencive.
My version, if it ever comes to that will be offered in all 5 variations.
Baby, Standard, Navy, Artillery and Carbine.
And most importantly will be available in the future, for future orders, hopefully for years to come.
At a smaller price tag, at around 12K to start depending on variation.
In every other respect it will be the same.
If it ever raises to be a real project, with some interest from the public, i may be able to slowly grow it in to semi production levels, with possibility to lower a price tag below 5K.
But that dream got to be at least 10 years away.
My dream and goal in life to bring Luger design back to life...
Sort of invent the time machine and allow the 1907 Luger 45 ACP version to grow in what a 1911 Colt 45 ACP is today .
If George Luger followed up with the order of the test guns in 1907 , who knows maybe today we'd have a ton of cheap Luger 45ACP available , made by everyone under the sun, and Colt 1911 will cost a million $ and only 3 of them 'd exist.
I got nothing agents 1911 Colt, but i think history took an unfair turn for a 1907 Luger , that has a ton of potential.
They did finish the army tests neck in neck even then.
I have seen the test results.
After all, been somewhat of a realist, i think my dream my never come to life... but one is allowed to dream ? Right ?
