I haven't seen or handled Eugene's .45 reproduction, but IIRC it is made from Mike Krause's reverse-engineered 'blueprints' [$2,500
] taken from an actual 1907 Trials .45, so the faults (if accurately copied) are inherent in the design.
I just noticed in the magazine thread that the .45 has no stock lug. While I am sure that is an accurate representation, it saddens me. Even though I own an M1900AE, I associate Lugers with stock lugs.
And since Eugene is soliciting opinions, I think the safety markings of
F and
S as used on the P38 and other weapons is clearer and more intuitive than the arrow and 'safe' marking.
My $.02 as usual.
