It's been fired! Not as much wear as I would have thought, for a Test Trials pistol...

An interesting example of engineering. I have to wonder if this was just a scaled-up stopgap to satisfy the US Military Trials specs, or if there was any planning, calculating, and testing beforehand...

How did the 45 Luger perform in the testing??? I've never read any report on it/them...

Did Luger (or DWM, whoever) ever comment on why the 45 Luger was never offered commercially???
