I visited Mr. Krause's shop in San Mateo in May of 2002. I examined a .45 luger he had there at the time and asked several question about them. His guns are chambered for standard .45ACP. The gun I handled had been fired, it had grips with the plain border, in the style of Swiss made lugers.
"The Luger Story" by John Walter indicates Georg Luger had ammo made due to the erratic pressure and general poor quality of the Frankford arsenal .45 ammo.
My recent experience with an Interarms 29/70 in 9mm makes me think that the pressure curve may be critical in a luger as well.
