For flatter trajectory, it can be done in 30 Luger,

or to be used for longer range in 357 Sig maybe ?
My "ultimate target Luger" is a W+F 06/29 with a 200mm factory pencil barrel, part of the special run for the 1949 Olympics. If I had my druthers, I would replicate it scaled up for a stouter bottleneck cartridge (9x25 Dillon, or more realistically, .357 SIG), fitted optionally with an Artillery pattern stock. A Luger chambered for in .45 ACP, especially in a short-barreled configuration, is best approached as a manually-operated repeater.
